7. Save the 14A-FPLAY1.dwg file, and open the 13C-SPLAY1.dwg file.
Repeat the previous exercise by applying linetypes to these layers as

You have assigned the lineweights. When the print is complete, you can judge
whether these lineweight assignments are acceptable or need to be adjusted. In
an office, a lot of time is invested in developing a lineweight standard that can
be used in most drawings. The development of such a standard is typically led by
a CAD manager and decided upon by a CAD committee of key users throughout
the company.

the 15-SP
Lineweight.las
layer state is also
available from the

matically assign the
lineweights for your
civil site plan.
