Control line weight?
Control line weight?
(OP)
Is it possible to control the line weight of an annotation, to be the same value as that use in dimensions? (SW 2012)
Thank you for your time.

RE: Control line weight?
I finally had some time to check your suggestions and could not find anything that worked. Every place I looked the specs for both the dimensions and annotations are the same. This whole problem.. insignificant as it is.. brought up another issue that I will inquire about in a new thread.
But.. it seems different printers handle line weights differently. Printing from SW to my home printer preserves all the line weights as it should. However if I Print To PDF the line weights are ignored and all come out equal. I suspect this is due to "my" pdf printer (CuteWriter) and I wonder if other SW users have alternative "Print To PDF" solutions that work better.

I'd suggest trying out Layers which have a line thickness setting. Since the Annotation is not a curve the line format toolbar cannot help you unless it's sketch text.

I will play with it some more.. have never tried / used "layers" except in AutoCad. As I could not preserve any line weights before it only mattered while the drawing was on my monitor. Now, thanks to the forum's help "print to PDF" is making my line weights show so I should try again.
