Line thickness

[Carlok]

Hi all members and really thanks for all their help to us,

This time, I would like to know if there is a way to change the line thickness in order to follow ISO recommended Standard. I noticed only tree thickness are available and this is not descriptive coz I need 0.35 mm between others. Really thanks for all their help.

As far as on-screen display is concerned, 'Line Thickness' is only relative. However, when it comes time to plot a drawing, you can assign explicit custom line widths to each of the 3 NX standard widths. To do this, go to...

File -> Plot...

...and expand the 'Color and Width' section of the dialog and select the 'Define Widths' option and when this dialog opens set the 'Use' option to 'Custom 3 Widths' and then you will be able to define exactly how 'wide' you wish each of the 3 standard widths to plot.

Now if you need more than 3 line widths when you plot and you don't care about the use of color in you final plot, you can also assign a 'User Defined' width to each of the 216 colors. To set these up, instead of selecting the 'Custom 3 Widths' option above, select 'Custom Palette' instead and then you can assign either one the 3 standard widths or a user defined width to each of the 216 NX colors. Now this will have no effect on the display you see on the screen.

Note that the plot width options describe above are also relevant if you choose to export your Drawings as CGM or PDF files instead of plotting them directly to paper.
