Increase Line wieght

Increase Line wieght

(OP)
Good afternoon.  I have tried looking in Help, but I can not seem to find a way to increase the line wiegt, so the line looks thiker.  Any suggestions?  Thank you in advance.

RE: Increase Line wieght

In a sketch > No
In a drawing > use the Line Format toolbar
In a print > use the File > Print > System Options > Line Weights option

cheers

Thanks I will give it a try

RE: Increase Line wieght

You can do it in a sketch in 2007. You use the Line Format Toolbar like you do in a drawing and change the Linetype, weight, and color.

RE: Increase Line wieght

shocked well so you can ... and in SW06 as well. I did not know that.

I have no idea why anyone would want to do that in a model sketch, but maybe someone will offer an practical reason.

Thanks Jason.

I think the reason was for sketch blocks....so you can more easily distinguish between them since you can have a lot going on.
