You can change the lineweight
of an object by reassigning it to another layer, by changing the
lineweight of the layer the object is on, or by specifying a lineweight
for the object explicitly.
You
have three choices for changing the lineweight of an object:
- Reassign
the object to another layer with a different lineweight. If an object's
lineweight is set to BYLAYER, and you reassign the object to a different
layer, it acquires its lineweight from the new layer.
- Change the lineweight assigned to the layer that
the object is on. If an object's lineweight is set to BYLAYER, it
acquires the lineweight of its layer. When you change the lineweight
assigned to a layer, all objects on that layer assigned the BYLAYER
lineweight are updated automatically.
- Specify
a lineweight for an object to override the layer's lineweight. You can
specify the lineweight of each object explicitly. If you want to
override the layer-determined lineweight of an object with a different
one, change an existing object's lineweight from BYLAYER to a specific
lineweight.
If you want to set a specific lineweight for
all subsequently created objects, change the current lineweight
setting on the Properties toolbar from BYLAYER to a specific lineweight.
To change the line width
of a polyline, donut, rectangle, or polygon
- Select one or more polyline objects.
- Enter w (Width) and
enter a new width for all segments.
- Press Enter to end the command.
