LINEWEIGHT NOT SHOWING IN LAYOUT SPACE

[Anonymous]

Hi Everyone,

I'm having real issues trying to get my lineweights to show up in the Layout Space. 

I've seen loads of posts on here asking the same question, I've tried all the solutions on here correctly (I think), but nothing seems to have worked. 

I'm not hugely experienced with AutoCAD but have been using for around a year and haven't had this problem before! 

If anyone could offer some advice I would hugely appreciate it!

TIA

Hello @Anonymous, 

Please verify the proper layer specs. 

Make sure the "Plot" display is not disabled on your layer in the "Layer Properties Manager" dialog box. 

Make sure you have "Plot Object Lineweights" checked.

Please share the file if you continue to have an issue. Thank you.

PSLTSCALE off, then REGEN.  Might need to do that with the Viewport active.

Post a sample file and a speedy resolution will follow.

Hi @Anonymous    If you want to see the lineweights on the screen then set LWDISPLAY to ON

Oh Oops!  Lineweight not Linetype Scale... Sorry for my confusion.

Thank you for advice Natasha! 

I've just tried everything you've suggested and everything seems to be correct. The first image you posted of the layer properties, mine looks really quite different to yours, I don't have any plot option in there for example? Just so you know I'm using the MAC 2018 version.

The lineweights are showing up in the Model space, but not showing in Layout 1. I've made the lines really thick in the model space just in case it was the scale that wasn't set up right in the layout space, but that hasn't seemed to work either! Really frustrating. I am still learning AutoCad though so it could just be my lack of knowledge. 

I will attach the file here, please note the lines look very thick at the moment, they won't be this thick once the issue is sorted.

Thank you again your help is hugely appreciated!

Please Upload AutoCAD 2013 format

Are you working in inches or in millimeters?????

Zoom up layout space lineweights will show up, Before check marked Display Lineweight (LW)

In Plot Style Table Editor > Edit > Lineweight > you can specify the numerical value of each Lineweight 

plot options on the left check to see if 'Plot object lineweights' is selected

CELWEIGHT <-1>

LWDISPLAY <ON>

Some helpful links

Hi,

>> lineweights are showing up in the Model space,

>> but not showing in Layout 1

First please try these steps:

• Activate Layout 1
• make sure you are in paperspace
• zoom close to the upper right border of your paper, so you see the first 3 to 4 lines of your legend.
• now turn on and off LWDISPLAY ... do you see a difference or not?

That is what I see when switching the LWDISPLAY parameter (left is ON, right is OFF😞
