I have 2 different lines with different line weights, I also have "true line weights" turned on and they still look hairline thin. Funny thing is, the line weights only show when I go to plot it. Any ideas?
Cheers,
Matts

So this is separate from the "View>On-Screen View Options>True Line Weight" option?

WOW... for a second there I thought this was a BUG. I tried everything... and I found out that the line weights ARE WORKING. It's just that I need to zoom in ALOT to notice the change in line weight. How can I fix that? How can I make it noticable at regular zoom... I mean that's the whole point right? To notice it in the viewport
But the whole point is really to make a credible impression at final printout.

Coming from Microstation to ArchiCAD this was (and still is) one of my biggest adjustments. Microstation has a control that allows adjustment of the relative thickness of the true weight line on the screen to make it more visible when zoomed out. It would be nice if AC had this.

Zooming to 500% is ridiculous to see OVERALL effect.
