I am on NX1872, just moved up from NX10
I am totally befuddled working with line widths.
I see the drafting text is controlled by thin, normal, and thick line widths, and I see where that is defined in the customer defaults.
Everything else has its line width defined by a number, which is the thickness of the line in mm.
I have never printed by color, and don't want to go down that path.
When I make a PDF, I don't understand most of the custom width settings.
I understand the settings for thin, normal, and thick, but what are all those custom widths ?
If I have a line width specified as a certain thickness on the drawing, that is the way I want it printed. How can I do that ?
In my pdf below all the dimension lines and the dimension itself should be the same thickness, and the object lines should be a thicker width, but that is not the way it looks.
If there is documentation I can access on this please let me know.
I need to get these drawings out !
