Changing Lineweight in different viewports
Changing Lineweight in different viewports
(OP)
Does anyone know if it is possible to plot a layer as 2 different lineweights in seperate viewports (eg. Layer A plots lineweight 0.25 in view 1 & plots lineweight 1 in view 2)???
Or do I need to do something else??? Can you use different lineweights for an xref?
Thanks in Advance

RE: Changing Lineweight in different viewports
I don't know of any way to have different layer properties for the same layer in separate viewports. In the past, I have created separate layers when I wanted a different visual effect in different viewports.
You can change the layer properties of a drawing that you are inserting as an xref without affecting the properties of that layer in the original drawing, but it will still display the same way in each of the viewports that you have created in a given drawing.

I ended up doing a test using an xref and changing the layer properties in the child drawing. This gave me different lineweight without modifying the parent file.
Viewport layer manager changed the model space details so I couldn't get the 2 different lineweights.
Once again thanks guys for the helpful replies!
Probably should have stated this is in AutoCAD 2006 LT
