In this video, Shaun Bryant explains how the layer lineweights can be utilized when linking DWG files to Revit.
- [Instructor] We're staying in the LayerStandards.dwg file,…and as you can see, we're still zoomed in…where we were in the previous video.…Just do a quick zoom extents,…by double clicking on the wheel on your mouse, like so,…and that takes you back to that…completely zoomed out view, zoomed to the extents…of the visible drawn objects.…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.…
Now, these Lineweights aren't as dramatically important…as something like, the layer naming, the layer color,…the layer line type, but they can be really useful…to highlight specific objects in your AutoCAD drawings,…before you start thinking about linking them…
