Viewport Lineweight

Viewport Lineweight

I have a perplexing problem trying to make a viewport part of the drawing frame.

 

I have given the viewport layer a lineweight in the layer and in also VP Lineweight. I have plotted without a pen table but have checked out 'Plot Lineweights'. But yet, the viewport line or frame is very thin as if he had no width.

 

All other lineweights defined by layer are fine.

 

Can anyone suggest why viewport is not accepting a lineweight?

@Baz_man hello, creating or overlay a pline (plinewid) with thickness in your viewport is acceptable? .thanks

Please mark this response as "Accept as Solution" if it answers your question. Kudos gladly accepted.

Not really since it can make it harder to select the viewport itself. It could also be an extra entity that shouldn't be required. Why doesn't the viewport accept lineweight?

Hi @Baz_man, If you draw a rectangle around your viewport or just a little smaller so you it's easy to select and then use the VPCLIP command and select the viewport first and then the new rectangle a new viewport will be created out of the rectangle and that should print the lineweight.

Hi,

 

>> Can anyone suggest why viewport is not accepting a lineweight? <<

i suggest to draw a rectangle with your needed line weight then by MV ( Mview)command  select Object option to select the previous rectangle to become your viewport with a line weight. see below image

 

Command: MV MVIEW
Specify corner of viewport or [ON/OFF/Fit/Shadeplot/Lock/Object/Polygonal/Restore/LAyer/2/3/4] <Fit>:

Hello Barry,

 

If each element is in its layer, and "bylayer", each layer with its thickness, type of line the detail must be here: (See image)

The icon activates or deactivates the thickness display, without printing, but the very small thicknesses do not differ, so if you want to be sure you could print a part in pdf. If it is still not possible to adjust it, could you attach the file to help you?

 

Regards,

Hi @Baz_man!

 

You may try this:

     - Create a Rectangle (or Closed Polyline) that matches the Viewport in shape.

     - Give it the new polyline all the settings you want including line weight, line type....

     - Use "VPClip", select the viewport, then the created polyline..

 

Now the polyline with all its settings will act as if it was the viewport boundry..

 

Regards!

Thank you one and all for your responses. I am aware of all the 'workarounds'. Perhaps this question might be best directed to Autodesk as to why a viewport cannot accept  a lineweight rather than have to cater to it.

When viewports first became a thing. You couldn't set a layer to not plot and we had to put them on Defpoints because, as a rule, you don't plot viewports.

 

I was going to suggest clipped viewports but you don't want two objects even though it does exactly what you want.

Drafting is a breeze and Revit doesn't always work the way you think it should.
