Hello!

I have a problem with the pen weights in scale 1:10 The lines are too thick. I tried to correct the thickness in attributes -> pens & colors. I reduced the pen weight to 0.01 but nothing change in the layouts.

After you modify the pen set thicknesses, SAVE as a New Pen Set. Then apply that pen set to the selected drawing on the Layout and all will be ok.

I've done the following:

Pen Set 1 - Plans @ 1:50 say
Pen Set 2 - Details @ 1:10 say

For example, you can assign Pen 1 to exterior walls, etc. and then call up Pen Set 1 for plans and Pen Set 2 for details. Pen 1 then has separate, but appropriate weights for each scale.
