line weight choices in NX drafting
line weight choices in NX drafting
(OP)
nx 8.5
in NX drafting, why there are not many line weight options? we only have 0.13, 0.18, 0.25, 0.5, 0.7 1.00, 1.4 and 2.0
today i printed out the drawing and compare it with the standard template drawing developed by Autodesk people and found out the line weight in NX drawing is much thicker
since the template developed by autodesk people have been there for 5 yrs so i have ot follow the standard....
is it a way to add more line weight options?
thank you

Now if you REALLY need to PLOT your Drawings using more than NINE line widths, you can do what users had to do prior to NX 8.5 when they needed more than THREE line widths. They simply assigned different colors to different objects and then when they set-up a plot, they used the option to assign line width by color. In this way, it was possible, although not very practical, to have as many as 216 different line widths on your final plotted Drawing.

RE: line weight choices in NX drafting
after looking at the help document, i still dont know how to apply the concept....
initially, what triggered me to ask the line weight choice question is that unlike Autocad which you can define many line weight; however, in NX, i just those 9 line weight option
for example, in the annotation property window, the 0/13 is the thinnest line weight i can pick, but, i want the line to be much thinner, say 0.05 or even 0.03mm on some drawing views
is there any simple example i cna go through?
thanks
