Polyline thickness

How do I set my line thickness to 0 for the rectang function? The layer is set to 0 so I don't understand why it is drawing thick. I know how to change it to 0 once drawn, but is there a way to set the default to 0 so I don't have to change it everytime?

THICKNESS or WIDTH?? those are two different things.

 

If you're truly asking about THICKNESS see the previous reply.

 

If its width use properties to change the width of the PLINE and use PLINEWID setvar to set the default width.

I'll add another possibility to @Anonymous's -- THICKNESS or WIDTH or LINEWEIGHT?  Those are three  different things.

 

RECTANG makes them at zero width even when PLINEWID is non-zero [at least up to and including Acad2016 that I'm running here], so I don't think that can be it [unless you don't really mean  "the rectang function," but are drawing them with the PLINE command].  But if you have a lineweight  assigned to Layer 0, or in the current-entity properties, and you have it set to show lineweights, you'll see that.

@How do I set my line thickness to 0 for the rectang function?

 

Hi,

 

Since you are using a rectangle function, type the command REC and check the following

 

REC > T (Thickness) > If it is set to <0>

(Thickness is seen if you are in 3d)

 

REC > W (Width) > If it is set to <0>

This will change the global width of the rectangle according to given value.

 

 

Cheers,

I've now dug into 2018 Help and find that Thickness and Width are now options in RECTANG, so that could be the issue.  But be aware of the difference [as @Anonymous mentioned] -- "width" is what a lot of people mean  when they talk about "thickness," but in AutoCAD's terminology "thickness" is up off the page in the Z direction.
