line weight of linked CAD file not changing

[Berrys_Cooling_Drafter]

Hi,

I linked a cad file to my Revit model now I am trying to change the line weight and line pattern of a line.

the pattern is changing when I change it in the visibility and graphic overrides but the line weight is not changing no matter what number I change it to.

please help me with what I am doing wrong what do I need to change so it makes the changes that I want it to make.

Are you trying to change under the VGO/Imported tab?  Probably the linework is not set to BYLAYER in the CAD.  Open CAD directly and change linework to BYLAYER.

Are you trying to change under the VGO/Imported tab? yes thats were I am changing it the patten that I change it to does change but not the line wight that does not show up as thicker line weight even when I change it to #10

I checked the Cad File the lines are set to by layer for the line type and line weight everything is by layer and it still doesn't change in revit

Post the CAD file. I'll take a look at it.

thanks for your help

seems to be working here. What layer linework are you trying to change?  

...Maybe it's changing, but it's unnoticed because of view scale?

a few of them take a look at the snips attached 

see the ones i changed and you can see the pattern changed but not the line weight.

not every element in the CAD is set to BYLAYER.  Window-select the whole enchilada, and change from *VARIES* to BYLAYER.

I see now that its not only the CAD lines that are not changing its weight also Revit elements that I change the object style to a heavier line wight it also doesn't show up that way in the model why is that so?
