Line Weight Import

Anonymous · ‎02-22-2018

I was messing around with the Import lineweight for colors from AutoCad in the imports window. The values are defaulted at 0, however you cannot put 0 in the field. So when the value is zero what is the default lineweight? It does not appear that I can undo this as far as I can tell.

I don't understand how you have a 0 default. What lineweight file are you using?

But the default is based on the source CAD. Typically 0.01 inches or 0.25 mm.

The 0 values confuse me as well. The 1 in there is because I couldn't revert it. We don't have a lineweight file set up at the moment so I was going to create one after I figured out how it worked. Do I just need to create a dummy file for the time being to get them back to 0? Eventually I will go in and generate that lineweight mapping file, or find it if we have a file the ctb was based on buried somewhere.

Why don't you just the import's Lineweights? Revit will bring them in along with the file.

We use ctb files, so I would have to manually change the lineweights for each line, since the weight is only linked to the color for printing.
