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 plot-
ted 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 exam-
ple, you can specify lineweights to be scaled in proportion to the new plot
scale.
