Current Lineweight
Displays the current lineweight. To set the current lineweight, select a
lineweight from the lineweight list and choose OK.
Units for Listing
Specifies whether lineweights are displayed in millimeters or inches. You can
also set Units for Listing by using the LWUNITS system variable.
Millimeters (mm)
Specifies lineweight values in millimeters.
Inches (in.)
Specifies lineweight values in inches.
Display Lineweight
Controls whether lineweights are displayed in the current drawing. If this
option is selected, lineweights are displayed in model space and paper space.
You can also set Display Lineweight by using the LWDISPLAY system variable.
Regeneration time increases with lineweights that are represented by more
than one pixel. Clear Display Lineweight if performance slows down when
working with lineweights turned on in a drawing. This option does not affect
how objects are plotted.
Default
Controls the DEFAULT lineweight for layers. The initial DEFAULT lineweight
is 0.01 inches or 0.25 mm. (LWDEFAULT system variable)
Adjust Display Scale
Controls the display scale of lineweights on the Model tab. On the Model tab,
lineweights are displayed in pixels. Lineweights are displayed using a pixel
width in proportion to the real-world unit value at which they plot. If you
are using a high-resolution monitor, you can adjust the lineweight display
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 tab, set the lineweight display scale to the
minimum value or turn off lineweight display altogether.
