Applying Lineweights to Layers

You'll use Tables 15.1 and 15.2 to apply lineweights to the 14A-FPLAY1 and
13C-SPLAY1 drawings, respectively. The following procedure will guide you
through the process:

1. Open 14A-FPLAY1.dwg from your Chapter 15 directory, and start the
LAYER command to display the Layer Properties Manager. Make layer
0 the current layer.

2. The A-AREA and Defpoints layers do not plot, so you don't need to be
concerned with them at this time, but verify that they are set to not
plot. The E-POWR and L-PLNT layers are empty.

O

the 15-FP
Lineweight.las
layer state is also
available from the
Chapter 15 down-
load, and it will
automatically assign
the lineweights
discussed in this
exercise.

3. Click the A-ANNO-DIMS layer to highlight it. Hold down the Ctrl
key, and click the A-ELEV-FNDN-PATT, A-ELEV-ROOF-PATT,
A-ELEV-SHAD-PATT, A-ELEV-WALL-PATT, A-FLOR-PATT, A-ROOF
layers to select them. Then release the Ctrl key.

4. In the Lineweight column of the Layer Properties Manager dialog box,
click one of the highlighted Default words in the Lineweight column to
open the Lineweight dialog box (see Figure 15.22).
