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 the Plot Style Table Editor to customize 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.
NOTE If you save a drawing using the AutoCAD Release 14, or earlier, format, the
drawing preview displays lineweights even though the drawing saved in the earlier
format does not display lineweights.
