Topic: (C3D 2015) Line weights in Alignment Styles

[Mark]

How do I get the lineweights to display on my 'tick'? I'm using a standard Line in my tick block with no lineweights set. What the heck am i missing here!

thanks

do you have line weight display enabled?

and or

Display Plot Styles?

AND

is your plot style set to use OBJECT Line weight?

[mjfarrell]

actually the culprit

aectickline (it's a block)

One would probably be happier drawing a line element in the label style instead...

1 do you have line weight display enabled?
2 Display Plot Styles?
3 is your plot style set to use OBJECT Line weight?

Yes, yes and yes.

the tick is a block i created. I'll look into drawing a line element in the label style.

then it is the SAME problem only you can't blame autodesk for it   

you would then want to set the lineweight in the block - if you insist on using that block

No workie on the line element. You can't anchor the station correctly.

I suppose so! But I need different lineweights for major and minor stations.

where do you want to anchor the line?  or station value

and yes I can

OK, i figured it out. Tricky!! But I think I actually like the block better. LOL

I use a line element over a block...as there is a much smaller chance ANYONE will ever change that line....

whereas the block could potentially be edited...much easier by some hack accidentally

I can see your point. Once you know how to configure the damn thing it works pretty well.

thanks!

Final product.
