Line Styles
Line Styles are used mostly for 2D drafting and for using the Linework tool. There are many
default styles. Nine of those cannot be deleted. Beyond that you can create your own line styles.
Open the Line Styles dialog box (see Figure 1.25) by choosing Settings  Line Styles from the
menu bar. This dialog box lets you view and edit all of the line styles available in the project.
Line Weights
You define line weights using the Line Weights dialog box (see Figure 1.26). Open this dialog
box by choosing Settings  Line Weights from the menu bar. Line weights are divided into
three categories: Model, Perspective, and Annotation. Sixteen line weights can be defined for
each of these categories. The Model category can have unique weights for each of the predefined
28 imperial or 12 metric scales. Weights defined for the perspective and annotation categories
are absolute, regardless of scale.
