LINE WEIGHTS VISIBLE ON SCREEN


Recommended Posts

IN VW ARCHITECT; I really only use line weights 1-20. These print well, but is there a setting with which one can control / set how the line weights appear on the screen? Lines 2-14 all appear the same thickness on the screen which makes it a bit difficult to see at a glance which class one is in while drawing.

Any advice?

thanks, Joe

Hey Mar.

THANKS SO MUCH!

Perhaps you can also answer this one...

Is it possible to print to a certain scale (e.g. directly to a small printer on A4 (e.g.)

without setting up a sheet layer with a viewport, etc.

One occasionally just wants to quickly print a portion of a design layer to work on it by hand or for a quick check.

(you might notice that I am pretty new to VW!!)

thanks

Couple ways here. There are likely others.

Make a screen shot and print that. (Shift Cmd 4 then drag a marquee).

Select objects you want to work with and Copy/Paste into an email or image edit app (Preview, Graphic Converter, etc) Some objects may not paste. Rendered objects with fill may not copy.

Viewports are probably easier, but: In File>Document Settings>Document Setup>Drawing Area & Scale: Change the drawing area to desired paper size. rescale the drawing, too if nec. After you print, change them back if needed. Your line weights may be a big hassle to change to and from.
