Adding more line weights to Attributes


Recommended Posts

As with many users, I am frequently importing DXF and DWG files. Often they have many different color penweights. I want to add more default Vectorworks line weights so that I can effectively match the DXF/DWG colors without any duplications. Make sense? Any suggestions? Thanks.

In the import box you can select the options panel to create as many line weights as you want when you map the colors of the autocad file. Once imported you can bring in a symbol which includes the line weigts you want to use. Then the eyedropper tool can select them for you. You can include colors with that as well. You can also use the eydropper tool on any imported object.

Of course if you are going to go back to DXF/DWG just work in color and forget the line weights. And when you export don't map lineweights to colors. Just export the colors and let autocad create the line weights.
