Set the Lineweight Scale for a Layout
You can scale lineweights proportionately in a layout with the plot scale.
Typically, lineweights specify the line width of plotted objects and are plotted
with the line width size regardless of the plot scale. Most often, you use the
default plot scale of 1:1 when plotting a layout. However, if you want to plot
an E-size layout that is scaled to fit on an A-size sheet of paper, for example,
you can specify lineweights to be scaled in proportion to the new plot scale.

Quick Reference
Commands
PAGESETUP
Controls the page layout, plotting device, paper size, and other settings for
each new layout.
PLOT
Outputs a drawing to a printer or file.
Select a Plot Style Table for a Layout
A plot style table is a collection of plot styles assigned to a layout or model
space.
A plot style is an object property, similar to linetype and color. Therefore, it
can be assigned to an object or a layer and they control an object's plotted
properties.
If you select the Display Plot Styles option under Plot Style Table (Pen
Assignments), the properties of the plot styles assigned to objects are displayed
in the selected layout.
