I looked thru the AC help and also on line, and somewhat mysteriously can't find any leads on this...I usu. model at 1/4"=1'-0" (so it says in the lower left of my AC screen); my fonts size and line weights are set at this scale. When I change that to say, 1/2"=1'-0", the fonts will all change size appropriately, but the line weights stay...the same. I am looking for a way to make the lines print wider the more I increase my scale towards 1:1. What am I missing?
Cheers,
John

What you are missing are SCALABLE LINE WEIGHTS... AC doesn't have them!... I have two workarounds....
1. Print to PDF and reductions and enlargements from READER to printer will scale original lineweights..
2. Create PEN SETS for different scales (very tedius and time consuming)... and apply them to the different drawings in the LAYOUTING side of archicad.
