Line Thickness settings
The Line Thickness settings are Default, Custom, and eight width settings. Interestingly, the
different thicknesses are named in the interface where you set the actual thicknesses, but not in
the interface where you set lines to thicknesses. Figure 25.5 shows the Line Thickness page
(Tools ➪ Options ➪ Document Properties ➪ Line Thickness).FIGURE 25.5The Line Thickness settings in Tools ➪ Options
The way the line thickness is shown in the drawing does not have anything to do with the
numerical width that is assigned to it. For example, in Figure 25.5, notice that Thick(2) is set to
0.1 inch, which is much wider than Thick(3). Changing the numbers only affects printed line
thickness; it does not affect the display at all.Caution
The Line Thickness settings are document options, not system options. As a result, two drawings with the same
line type assignments may have different numerical widths; thus, the two drawings would print differently on
the same computer. n
