Lineweights in Version14?

[Anonymous]

I have been writing some vba scripts in AutoCAD2000. In particular creating
blocks composed of polylines. I change the lineweight of some of these
polylines and set the LWDISPLAY variable in order to see them.

I use
blockObj.Item(0).Lineweight =acLnWt005
blockObj.Item(1).Lineweight =acLnWt090
etc

I would like to use to be able to produce the same results in AutoCAD14 but
have failed to draw polylines with particular lineweights. Also, there does
not appear to be a LWDISPLAY variable.

Is this possible in AutoCAD14?

Any help greatly appreciated

Visible lineweights is an A2K feature and does not exist in R14 (at least
not on the screen). In fact, polylines were the only entity allowed to have
linewights in R14. You'll need to use the SetWidth method (I don't know if
it exists in R14) to change the appearance of your polylines.

Lineweights are a new feature in AC2K. Polylines, in R14 and below, have a
width property, but that isn't the same as lineweights when it comes to
plotting.
