Display Lineweights
Lineweights are displayed differently in model space than in a paper space
layout.
■ In model space, a 0-value lineweight is displayed as one pixel and other
lineweights use a pixel width proportional to their real-unit value.
■ In a paper space layout, lineweights are displayed in the exact plotting
width.
Display Lineweights in Model Space
In model space, weighted lines that are joined form a beveled joint with no
end caps. You can use plot styles to apply different joins and endcap styles to
objects with lineweights.
Note Different styles of endcaps and joins of objects with lineweight are
displayed only in a full plot preview.
Lineweight display in model space does not change with the zoom factor. For
example, a lineweight value that is represented by a width of four pixels is
always displayed using four pixels regardless of how far you zoom in. If you
want the lineweights on objects to appear thicker or thinner on the Model
tab, use
LWEIGHT to set their display scale. Changing the display scale does
not affect the lineweight plotting value.
