How to show / display changes to Line Weight in a file

Background

When changing the weight of Line Styles in a drawing/file, the weight is not changed in the drawing View.

Selecting the line/element and changing the weight is not reflected in the View when using any of the following:

Line Weight Attribute in Attributes toolbar, changing Line Weight in Properties or even changing in Level Manager.

Steps to Accomplish

  1. There are two areas to check that can be easily overlooked:

    1. Level Override View Attribute
    2. Line Weight View Attribute

  2. These can be found in View Attributes Dialog, go to menu: Settings > View Attributes
  3. Check that the View Number in View Attributes matches the View Number of the elements being worked on
  4. Ensure the Line Weights option is turned ON
  5. Ensure Level Overrides option is turned OFF
