Liweight ON even when LWDISPLAY is OFF

Liweight ON even when LWDISPLAY is OFF

Anonymous
No aplicable

Hi everyone, 

 

I am having a bad time; I would appreciate some help with this one. 

 

My company uses Plot Styles to set the first eight colors to plot in black while applying different thicknesses. I like working in Model with the Display Plot Styles 'ON' and LWDISPLAY  'OFF' so I can see the first eight colors in black with lightweight 0. This workflow is not working for me anymore. I tried on a colleague desktop, and it works. 

 

When I turn lwdisplay off, cause the drawing to hide thicknesses from entities (as expected), however as soon as any command is executed, the lineweights display back on, even though lwdisplay is still set to off. If I cycle the lwdisplay the lineweight turns back off. And I am back at the beginning of the issue.

Thank you.

Hi, thanks for your help. 

 

My colleague is using: O.49.0.0 AutoCAD LT 2018 

I am using: R.47.0.0 AutoCAD 2021

We are both on Windows 10 Enterprise.

So not the same versions. OK.

Use ETRANSMIT command to post your file along with your plot style table and everything else your file needs, let folks here test your issue in R2021.

BTW your colleague has an important 2018.1.2 update they need to install.

Thank you all.

Hi,

my knowledge for applying pen assignment thicknesses for CAD elements is by preparing a pagesetup with Display Plot Styles selected option .

As noted in a previous reply, you need to turn off DISPLAY PLOT STYLE in your pagesetup for the lweight look to go away: LWDISPLAY command has no effect on it other than initial trigger you keep seeing.

 

Tested in R2019.1.2, R2020.1.3 and R2021.

Thank you both.

 

By turning off DISPLAY PLOT STYLE will also make the first eight colors to display in their original colors, rather than black. My aim was to display them as to how they plot while keeping their thickness to zero at the same time? 

 

I am getting used to working assigning thickness to colors as this is the standard of the team I am working on at the moment. I am not 100% certain but I thought I have managed to work like this in the past.

you can't have it both ways, sorry.

 

Perhaps you are ready to move on to STB plot style tables which do NOT rely on screen color: then you all can do whatever you want as a BYLAYER setting and not a screen color setting https://www.landfx.com/docs/cad-basics/plotting/item/2096-stb.html

Well, then STB sounds like is what I am looking for. I will dig into it. Thanks for the link and your support, really appreciated :cara_con_una_leve_sonrisa:
