NX 7.5 - object line thickness in view

[designerabc]

I know if style, you can change the object lines to different thicknesses in each view.
What if there is a part that has many holes, and you want the border of the object to have thick object lines, and the holes to have thin object lines. Is that possible?
Thanks

Sometimes I do something similar to that.
I use View Dependent Editing to get what I want.

Which icon in view dependent edit do you select?

You can only really distinguish between 'Hard' and 'Soft' edges. A 'Soft' edge is one between two faces where the seam is smooth or 'tangent', whereas all edges which are NOT smooth are thus considered as 'Hard' edges and inherit the 'line' width assigned to the Body. Now in Drafting you can edit the appearance of any object, including individual edges, using View Dependent Editing techniques, but it's time-consuming and a can become a bit tedious.

Thanks John,
If I were to take the time and pick just the holes, which icon in view dependent edit would I use?
I don't want to erase them? Or edit the entire object, just a line or two.

You want "edit entire object". In a drafting view, each curve is its own object.
Select the circle object representing the hole and you can change the line thickness.

and here is how you get to view dependent editing:
Edit -> View -> View Dependent Editing
Go over the top four icons in the menu, and you should be able to figure it out.
Ask if you have more questions on it.
I am not sure where the toollbar icons are located.
