Line Weight

AutoCAD Line Weight, Defined in Millimeters

In MicroStation, line weight is defined in pixels. When converting a DGN file to DWG, the Line Weight Scale setting on the Save As DWG/DXF Options dialog box handles the scale factor so that display of line weights is consistent across formats.

Line weight display is controlled by the View Attributes dialog box (Settings >View Attributes). To assign line weight per element, use the Change Element Attributes tool or the Element Information dialog box. To assign line weight by level, use the Level Manager dialog box.
