Pipe Line Thickness

[peholmgren]

Couldn't find anything similar on these boards..

I am looking to draw my pipe with a thicker appearance than the typical line of width "0". Our storm pipes are usually drawn with this so as to stand out from other utilities. If the pipe is represented by a polyline, I have usually adjusted the "Width" or "Global Width" value to my liking. With pipe objects, it seems more complicated. I have searched the settings, and the closest thing that I could find was the Lineweight property, but that appears to have no effect on the line thickness in the CAD drawing.

Do I need to tweak a plot setting? Make a new linetype altogether? That wouldn't be the worst thing, I suppose, but I'm hoping this is a case of something very simple that is being overlooked.

Thanks!!

I think you overlooked this.....

style="PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #000000 2px solid; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px">

Perfect, Jeff!

Hi,

Is there a way to do the same with a pressure pipe?

Thanks

Set the Pipe's style to display the pipe hatch, hatch to inside walls, solid hatch.

I have done this exact thing, but it still doesn't make any sense that they left out the centerline settings they have for the other pipe styles

With this method there will be no linetype.
