What we're gonna have a little look at now are our Lineweights. Now normally, your Lineweights are set to a default thickness, so to speak. Now your Lineweights need to be switched on in AutoCAD to be able to switch them on and off to see how those Lineweights actually look, should the drawing be plotted, and more importantly, those Lineweights might want to be on when you link the drawing through to your Revit project, it's entirely up to you.
