Hi. I have drawn a building, which has many lines when I zoom out. How do I make these lines as thin as possible?

You can open the style management window and change the line weight to the minimum.

@Alexander_Chernikov , let's start with the below drawing.

I used the Inventor Reset Utility.

 

Changing the line weight in Styles Editor -> Layers -> 3D Sketch Geometry (ANSI) had no visible effect. Additionally, updating styles had no effect.

 

However, selecting Display true line weights in Application Options -> Drawing -> Line Weight Display -> Settings... resulted in the following drawing.

 

Why did this latter approach work while the former approach did not? Neither approach seems to affect a drawing printed to a file in PDF format. What are the best approach for display in Inventor, display of a PDF file, and printing?

Visible and Visible Narrow layers are used for the object line, not 3d sketch. 

 

Have you tried Application options > Drawing > and near the bottom just un-checking the Display line weights?

And then also while printing remove object line weights.. I obviously dont know what all line type settings you have, just some options to play with.
