Thicker line

[Anonymous]

May be this is a dumb question, but as far I am not consider a dumb myself, I am asking.
Is there a way for drawing a thicker line, but not using the true view thickness option. I mean just to draw a single thicker line leaving the other with the same thickness.

Cheers

Not really.
But there are two work-arounds.

One is to use a zero height wall of the width you want.

The other is to create a symbol line type from several closely spaced lines - copy and paste into the symbol line.
If the lines are close enough they will merge into one unless at a very close scale.
Unfortunately you can't use fills in a symbol line.

The problem is that this still uses the pen thickness of the pen colour you choose when you use this line.
So be sure to use a thin pen or else it will print even thicker still if you print with true line thickness.
