Both lineweight and
linetype can be set as an object property or controlled when plotted
by using a plot style. Lineweight or linetype settings in the plot style
override the object's lineweight or linetype at plot time.
Assign and Display Lineweights
When
you select the Lineweight field in the Plot Style Table Editor,
a sample of the lineweight as well as its numeric value are displayed.
The default setting for plot style lineweight is Use Object Lineweight.
You can modify an existing lineweight if the one you need is not
available.
To view plot style lineweights in a layout,
select Display Plot Styles under Plot Style Table in the Page Setup
dialog box.
Assign Linetypes
When
you select the Linetype field in the Plot Style Table Editor, a
list with a sample and a description of each linetype are displayed.
The default setting for plot style linetype is Use Object Linetype.
Whether
you choose to assign a linetype as a property of the object or as
a plot style, you can set the Adaptive Adjustment option. This option
adjusts the scale of the linetype to complete the linetype pattern.
If you don't select Adaptive Adjustment, the line might end in the
middle of a pattern. Turn off Adaptive Adjustment if linetype scale
is important. Turn on Adaptive Adjustment if complete linetype patterns
are more important than correct linetype scaling.
You can apply a global scale factor to non-ISO
linetypes and fill patterns in plot styles.
