Examples

VBA:

Sub Example_ScaleLineweights()
    ' This example reads and modifies the ScaleLineweights
    ' Layout value.
    ' When finished, this example resets the  value back to
    ' its original value.
    
    Dim ACADLayout As ACADLayout
    Dim originalValue As Boolean
    
    ' Get the layout object
    Set ACADLayout = ThisDrawing.ActiveLayout
    
    ' Read and display the original value
    originalValue = ACADLayout.ScaleLineweights
    MsgBox "The ScaleLineweights value is set to: " & originalValue

    ' Modify the ScaleLineweights preference by toggling the value
    ACADLayout.ScaleLineweights = Not ACADLayout.ScaleLineweights
    MsgBox "The ScaleLineweights preference has been set to: " & ACADLayout.ScaleLineweights

    ' Reset the preference back to its original value
    ACADLayout.ScaleLineweights = originalValue
    MsgBox "The ScaleLineweights preference was reset back to: " & originalValue
End Sub
