line weight query

Anonymous — Mon, 02 May 2016 09:08:33 GMT

I am trying to use line weights as per BS ISO 128-24. When you have a section line there is a thick line at the ends and corners and arrows that point to the thick line. What controls the thick line weight and the arrow line weight? According to the ISO these should be the same and equal to the drawing thick line weight. (The ISO states that only two line weights should be used in a drawing.)

My image shows ANSI standard, but you set for your ISO standard.

None of these are as shown in the ISO standard. Thanks anyway.

Show example of the standard.

I didn't set it up for you - only pointed you in the right direction.

I don't seem to be able to paste graphics into this rich text window. There are only four options on the screen. I am not sure what you mean by setting it up. There doesn't appear to be a way of altering the four options.

Inventor automates this. Choose your line weight for the section line and inventor will do the rest.

P.s. the ootb BS and ISO styles comply with the relevant standards.

I think I am getting the same thing. I have seen this before, but don't remember how come the line weight at the end is different than the rest of the section line. (See attached). I can play around with the line weight of the section line in the styles, but it has not effect on this part of the line. Is this part of the line segment controlled within some other area of the styles? Is it tied to a font perhaps? or leader style?
