AC10 - Line Weights - output

[Anonymous]

I know I'm missing something, but....

I'm doing a diagram - comparing stage dimensions to house capacities of some theatres. Ultimately I will have a series of isometric diagrams but at the moment I just want a plan with a nice fat centre line (just a simple drafting line in plan). I just can't see how to adjust the output pen weight.

In AC 9 I would just set the view to show actual weight, but in 10?

Help....

If I understand,

View -> On-Screen View Options -> True Line Weight.

As for printing, all output is true weight unless you choose 'Hairline' in the print dialog. The On-screen options are on-screen only, and not saved with views.

Check your pen sets as well. Perhaps you have a set active where the weight of that pen isn't what you expect. Printing from a model window, the print will use the model's pen set. Printing a layout, the drawing could have the model's pens, the layout's, or an assigned pen set. HTH,

Thanks

Haven't really embraced AC10 yet, was just in the habit of setting the attributes (hairline, true weight, solid fills, etc) in Archicad and adopting these for the Plotmaker layout.

Maybe I'm just too tired....
