    Hi Everyone
    This may sound nuts but can I plot all hidden lines (regardless of color or
    layer) at 0.0071"? Can I also plot all center lines (regardless of color or
    layer) at 0.0051? If anyone knows of a way to do this it would be greatly
    appreciated.

    Thanks in advance

    Hmm... what's significant about those numbers? Are those the distances you
    want in "real" model space units? Measured distances on your plotted
    drawings? Something else?

    Tell us more...

    You can change all hidden or centerlines to any ltscale you want. You may not
    like the results with the numbers you have indicated.

    I think he's talking about lineweights...I don't know of a way to attach a
    weight to a linetype, though.

    You're probably right. .0071" is a pretty bizarre number though (there's a
    default width of .007" but it's pretty darned fine -- too fine for hidden
    lines, IMHO.

    Jeff - are you by any chance talking about lineweights rather than linetype
    scaling?

    If so, there isn't a way short of some programming to get all linetypes of a
    particular pattern to use a specific line weight.
