Drawing Lineweight

[koltonmcconkey]

Hi everyone I was just doing a project and converted my model into a drawing and printed it and realized the lines were way too thick. I've tried messing around with it in AutoCAD. As far as I know theres no way to change lineweight of drawings directly in Fusion. So if someone could help me out that'd be great! 🙂 I was also wondering if there was a way to edit the drawing views, like doing things such as deleting or adding lines and such. They seem to be set as blocks or something like that?

Thanks guys 🙂

Hi @macklARP8B   - circling back to this thread, we've implemented line weights control in Drawings with yesterday's release. Check it out in the What's New Blog post and reach out to Fusion.Drawings@autodesk.com if you have any questions or feedback.

Controlling Lineweights for PDF-Export does still not work effectively. The result I get with linethickness "very thin" is still this:

lineweight "very thin"

The only option right now is to not use lineweights at all (uncheck the option during Export), which is, to say the least, not ideal. (see image below).

Technical Drawings use lineweights to clarify to a manufacturer, which type of line this is. If I can't export working lineweights without smushing my whole drawing, I can't effectively communicate with the manufacturer. I need to add tons of Annotations, that I have to update every time I update something in the Model.

Please fix the lineweight controls. Why not just give total control to the user? I don't get why you use predefined Sets. I want to choose the weight itself and not use a predefined weight-set, that doesn't work. I want to specify a custom lineweight using "pt" as a Unit (the unit that is actually used in Europe for lineweights because it is much simpler to use than fractions of millimeters) for each linetype.

When i zoom in on a 2D dwg in Fusion the lines are too close together to even click on the correct line for adding dimensions. Every other drawing program "refocuses" when you zoom in that close to allows you to click the proper line. When will this be added to the next update pleaseee?

Hi @olivia.struckman,

as one other member wrote before, the lineweight control doesn't really work. The lines are too thick even in the thinnest preset. Why don't you just give the user more controll over the specific weights and which unit they want to use? Decimal values for millimeters are really not user friendly. In Germany technical drawings are usually drawn in lineweights between 1/8 to 1/2 pt (never over 1pt), which is about 0,04 to 0,18mm (never over 0,35mm). It would be better, if I could just set every lineweight individually without limits or at least to have more steps below "very thin", which might just as well be one of the thickest possible settings. I can't see any reason why anyone would ever use the "very thick" preset with lineweights of 1mm for outlines of a part.

Hi,

have a look at the Roadmap

An 8 year old program shouldn't need years to fix an issue.

An 8 year old program shouldn't have Roadmaps.

Every program always has issues to fix regardless how old they are. I think it's great that fusion keeps getting better and adding features, especially considering that it's a very low cost subscription compared to other 3D-software.

@g-andresen thanks for the tip. I hope this feature is coming soon, it would really be a great help. There are a few other features on the roadmap I'm excited about as well 🙂

It's hard to really even say the program is 8 years old, because it's is not the same program it was 8 years ago. I rather enjoy the continuous improvements, because it means we get better software every update (especially considering the cost)
