Schedules - How to adjust Line Weight of "3D Exterior View" column?

[wazzubrad]

I can't seem to find which layer or setting that pertains to the "3D Exterior Elevation" which appears on a schedule? For example; the picture of the doors on this door schedule have a line weight setting that isn't going to work. Any ideas how to change this?

Are you able to reproduce this in other files? I can not get that look.

You might need to share the Plan , or an example at least ... I have not ever seen that.

 

If you fixed it please post back with the Solution, thanks.

How and where did you create the door schedule?

I created the door schedule within Cad Detail Management in my Plan file. I do setup custom line weights via Print -> Drawing Sheet Setup (snip below) and was going through editing my new X14 Template when I found this issue.

That Cad detail is not in sync with the rest of your plan most likely.  By chance is the rest of the plan 1:200 MM and not in?  OOB is 1:100.  I personally use 1:150 for slightly better control but mm not inches.

As far as I know the Line Weights are set in Print -> Drawing Sheet Setup, so I am assuming the "rest of the plan" is set per the snip. Is there somewhere else I should look? I have setup the line weights this way per a suggestion I read prior in the forums and am trialing the look. I had to go through and adjust quite a few layers with new line weight settings which it looks like it's working well so far.

Ryan, I set the plan and layout files to 1:200MM and it cleared up the issue in the 3D Exterior Elevation. But this has created a new issue for me as would need adjust all of the line weight values on the layers I changed previously. I will need to decide which setting is preferable for me.

1:200 inches is going to be difficult to have much finite control on the lines.  OOB is 1:100mm and I usually stay fairly close to the standard oob line settings but change it to 1:150mm so it is a little finer control.  Then I adjust a few line settings.  Doing a full set of construction documents while doing it will really help you to dial them in.  Then use the save as a template tool to save a copy for a new template.

Thanks Ryan, I will move forward with that suggestion.

For anyone who runs into this same problem that I created, I realized that when editing a Cad Detail, you can also set the Line Weight Options for Cad Details in the Drawing Sheet Setup dialog under File->Print->Drawing Sheet Setup. When I changed the Line Weights there to match my Plan and Layout files, it fixed the Line Weights on my schedules and everything looks correct now.
