When I've tried to create a new plot style, it doesn't seem to get added to the list. I've noticed I have a column 'plot style' in my layer properties manager that has a few different colors listed for different layers, but these are all apparently un-editable (greyed out and locked).

Ideally I'd like to assign plot/pen styles by layer rather than color, but I can't see how this is possible. I also have layers for the building walls and doors which I want to show as slightly thick (about 0.15mm).Ĭonsidering I have other layers that are on color 'white', what will be the best system to use for scaled lineweights in the viewports? So that when I go from a 1:50 layout to a 1:100 layout the lineweight on paper will decrease accordingly and not look all thick and clunky compared to the new, larger scale. At the moment it's set to 0.3mm, with color as 'white' (actually displays as black). My blocks (all office furniture items) have amongst others a layer called 'outline' which I want to display thick.

(they have a fancy border with the scale shown in an information box along with date/title etc). I model in model space, and have layouts for A4/A3/A2 prints, and copies of each of these sizes pre-set at various viewport scales - 1:50/1:100/1:200. I am getting thoroughly bogged down in a lot of talk about linewights and plot styles when I think my task is a relatively simple one. To use this, type LAYER or -LA at the command prompt 1. Thought I'd try and get as much info across as possible. Plot Turns a Layer On for Plotting No Plot Turns a Layer Off for Plotting LWeight Controls the line weight for each layer TIP: Layers can be set using the command line prompts for layers.
