changing default settings in ACAD2004 - global width

changing default settings in ACAD2004 - global width

(OP)
I need to change the default global width to '0' since my polylines are showing up 2" thick, but can't seem to find the default setting for this. I assumed it would be under format but am not finding it.

Thanks.

RE: changing default settings in ACAD2004 - global width

run the polyline command.

Before picking any points, look at the command line. You should be able to hit 'w' for width. If you set it to 0, AutoCAD remembers your setting.

Easier: PLINEWID -> 0.

Hi jb22

Both of the above commands are correct, and will do what you  want them to do. one point to note though is, if you have already createed your polylines, and you want them to be a narrower width, you can change them in the proporties box.

press ctrl + 1 to activate the proporties box, select the polyline(s) you need to change and then select global width on the proporties box and type in your desired global width.

I hope this helps.
