Hi,
I am trying to figure out how to change the line weights of the 2D symbols in a schedule.
I create a schedule in a CAD detail, send it to the layout, and scale it to appropriately fit the page.
However, when I print the layout, the 2D symbols look extremely thick. How can I make the line weights of the symbols thinner?
I've tried editing within the schedule, and changing the text height to a smaller size (1"), which this works to make the symbols thinner, but then the text is too hard to read.
Also, is there a way to make a schedule have multiple columns?
Thanks!!

hello,
I am drawing a CAD detail that involves hidden (dashed) lines that are only 3" long. I selected the smallest dashed line from the drop-down menu, but it still only shows as a solid line. The dashes don't show when I print from layout either. I have read through forums a bit before I decided to ask this question- so I made sure the page setup dbx says line weight of 1=1/100 mm. I don't know if that has anything to do with my problem or not. All I want is to be able to draw a very short dashed line and still be able to see the dashes. The dashes are visible if I toggle off the lineweights, but that won't do me much good if it doesn't print that way. I appreciate any help- Thanks!

This is the first time this issue has come up for me, but now that I am looking into it, I cannot find a solution.
My client printed the attached site plan, and the house outline does not print for him. I have no problem on my printer, so I think it has something to do with his.
But I wanted to make the lines thicker to see what happened.
No matter how I adjust line weights, I cannot get them darker or thicker. In the file "3" the default CAD lines have a line weight of 3, in the file "500" I changed the line weight to 500 and there is no difference.
What am I missing?
