Command line LAYER, LWEIGHT
Change the Lineweight of an Object
You have three choices for changing the lineweight of an object:
■ Reassign the object to another layer with a different lineweight. If an
object's lineweight is set to
BYLAYER, and you reassign the object to a
different layer, it acquires its lineweight from the new layer.
■ Change the lineweight assigned to the layer that the object is on. If an
object's lineweight is set to
BYLAYER, it acquires the lineweight of its layer.
When you change the lineweight assigned to a layer, all objects on that
layer assigned the
BYLAYER lineweight are updated automatically.
■ Specify a lineweight for an object to override the layer's lineweight. You
can specify the lineweight of each object explicitly. If you want to override
the layer-determined lineweight of an object with a different one, change
an existing object's lineweight from
BYLAYER to a specific lineweight.
If you want to set a specific lineweight for all subsequently created objects,
change the current lineweight setting on the Properties toolbar from
BYLAYER
to a specific lineweight.
