    AutoCAD LT for Mac, plot style lineweights

    Hi.  I am just starting out with AutoCAD LT for Mac, moving over from the Windows platform.  I am trying to set up a plot style but notice that the lineweights options are given (.0000, .05, .09, 1.0, etc ).  I can't find a way to input a different lineweight other than the weights given.  Is there a way, or is this a limitation of AutoCAD LT for Mac 2012?

    You can do this (edit standard lineweights) in Plot Style Table editor :


    Lineweight

    Displays a sample of the lineweight as well as its numeric value. You can specify the numeric value of each lineweight in millimeters.

    If you assign a plot style lineweight, the lineweight overrides the object's lineweight when it is plotted.

     

    Edit Lineweights

    Modifies the widths values of existing lineweights.

    Displays the Edit Lineweights dialog box.

    There are 28 lineweights available to apply to plot styles in plot style tables. If the lineweight you need does not exist in the list of lineweights stored in the plot style table, you can edit an existing lineweight. You cannot add or delete lineweights from the list in the plot style table.
