Line thickness selection wish

[Robert Ruggles]

It would be nice if one could select a line thickness by simply pressing a key. Ideally, this would be a single key stroke with one of the F keys, and would be analogous to selecting a technical pen.

Robert, as a workaround, you could do that by buying a macro utility which will allow you to assign any meaning (keystrokes and/or mouse clicks) to any key or combination of keys. I use MacroExpress ($40 - downloadable, with a 30-day full-featured free trial).

And do you use the Eyedropper? In the Workspace Editor, you can assign any letter key to the Eyedropper tool, and then use that tool to pick up the line weight (and other attributes) of any object and "put" it on any other. Pickup/putdown is toggled by whatever key you assigned to "Mode Group 1" in the Keys tab of the Workspace Editor.
