Change the Lineweight of an Object
You can change the lineweight of an object by reassigning it to another layer,
by changing the lineweight of the layer the object is on, or by specifying a
lineweight for the object explicitly.
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 Lineweight property on the Properties palette when no objects are
selected from BYLAYER to a specific lineweight.
