jessde Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 seems I'm having a number of little glitches since downloading X6. The irritating one today is trying to change cad lines sizes,. Simple in X5 but can't change no matter what I try. In the past I've always just selected the line, opened it for editing and changed the size. Simple right? and I'm wondering why this has been changed in X6 and how it's done now or if I'm having a problem at this end. I've tried this in new plans and existing ones without success. Help is appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougMaddox Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Jess Works here. No problem. I tried in plan view and in an elevation and works fine. I have no suggestions on how to fix in your case. Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Help is appreciated. What exactly IS happening? Can you select the line? If so, are you getting any options? A little more information might help.

Kiwideziner Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 See Tommy's reply I believe that for OOB installations this setting is off in X6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jessde Posted September 3, 2014 Author Share Posted September 3, 2014 Ok . I draw a line, select it, open it to line specifications and change the line weight to a number other than what is previously selected. The line weight specifies layer and a line weight of 18. I tried changing it with and without layers checked. neither works. This is how I have always done this starting with X3. I don't get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KilgoreTrout Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Works for me. Are you using the latest update (16.4)? If I remember correctly, there was a bug in one of the earlier versions having to do with line weights. Are you making sure "By Layer" is unchecked? If it is checked, then the program will use the layer settings, not the settings for the cad line. If all else fails, post a plan or contact tech support.

glennw Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Have look at Tommy's post #3. Do you have line weights toggled on? If this is toggled off, you won't see line weights, no matter what the other settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jessde Posted September 8, 2014 Author Share Posted September 8, 2014 yep, that was it! Didn't know there was a toggle for line weights. Feeling not so bright once again! Thanks everyone for their help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
