Different scales in viewport vs lineweights

    Hi all,


    When you plot for example a layout with two viewports at different scale,
    how to get different lineweights in these viewports?

    Example:

    I have a full house shown in the first viewport. This one is scaled at
    1/50xp
    In the second viewport, I have a detail of this same house (so, with the
    same layers and same lineweights) scaled at 1/10xp.

    I would like my lineweights in the second viewport scaled for example 5
    times thicker than in the first VP.

    Anyone know how to solve this?


    Thanks in advance

    Gilles

    Gilles,
    To get both viewport to plot with the same linetype generation...... Set
    Ltscale=1 and Psltscale=1
    "Ltscale" is global control (i.e. whole drawing file), "Psltscale" shows
    only with respect to layouts or paper space and scales linetype
    generation using the individual viewport scale with the global ltscale.

    As for thickness..... P-lines with thickness or dual xrefs (use same
    base but rename one in host file, then xref second time) with different
    assigned thickness to layers or entities. IMO not a real slick solution
    but workable.
