scale to better display different lineweight widths. The Lineweight list reflects
the current display scale.
Objects with lineweights that are displayed with a width of more than one
pixel may increase regeneration time. If you want to optimize performance
when working in the Model layout, set the lineweight display scale to the
minimum value or turn off lineweight display altogether.

(page 599)]: Enter a valid lineweight or enter ?
The current lineweight value is displayed; if the value is not BYLAYER,
BYBLOCK or DEFAULT, the value is displayed in millimeters or inches.
Default Lineweight Sets the current default lineweight. Lineweight values
consist of fixed settings, including BYLAYER, BYBLOCK, and DEFAULT. Values
are calculated in either inches or millimeters; millimeters are the default. If
you enter a valid lineweight value, the current default lineweight is set to the
new value. If you enter any other value, the default is set to the nearest valid
value.
To plot an object with a lineweight that is not found in the list of fixed
lineweight values, you can use plot styles to control plotted lineweights. See
Control Plotted Lineweight and Linetype in the User's Guide. The DEFAULT
value is set by the LWDEFAULT system variable and has an initial value of
0.01 inches or 0.25 mm. The lineweight value of 0 plots at the thinnest
lineweight available on the specified plotting device and is displayed at a value
of one pixel in model space.
?—List Lineweights Displays a list of valid lineweight values in the current
lineweight units.
