In todays video I show you 4 different ways to modify the width and thickness of you autocad linework. By using layers and commands you can choose which method works best for you.
Remember if you have any autocad questions you would like answered just like the video and leave me the question below!
Cheers and happy drafting!

You are a life saver! I was just told after spending hours on a project to make the polylines 1". I did NOT want to select each line individually. Made it so much faster. Thank you!!
Thank you so much for your time explaining the different methods of changing the line thickness...Hats Off!
very nice explanation. i wanted to know the layer one the most. Thanks for tutorial.
i will follow your tutorial videos now. :)
you lowkey sound like Eric Forman from that 70's show but this still helped, thanx bro bro!
Thank you sir.
I like that 3rd method of changing. Thanks lot...
hi man
how did you make the third line start and end square? the first two were left with the initial and final round tip.
You're welcome!
Thanks for watching
Hey thanks. Love your channel - very succinct. So how about the line ends - rounded vs square? The width option gives square ends but not practical / efficient as its not assigned by layer
How would you change the text side.I'd like to preset up any text side when i m writing.
simple, short, to the point. thank you
how do you make the line square at the end instead of rounded?
Thanks save me a ton of time in modeling
Hi, can you share you preferred COLOR LINE THICKNES use in architecture?
Thanks
how about this please: my printer prints black and grey. when the draftman uses 0.000 lineweight it becomes really thin and grey and it does not help printing it on tracing paper or the transparent paper bec of the greyish color the paper has.
how do i change the all the really thin lineweight in one click without the need to click every line. i do not have lineweight example
please help me
Thank you so much for this video. It helps so much
I copied lines from another drawing and pasted then into mine. They were on different layers and were different widths. I used the join command to make one line which worked however they are still show as different widths on screen just as they looked before joining. I want the lines to look small when i zoom in or out for ease of drawing and editing. I don't want the line to appear thicker as I zoom in. What am I doing wrong?
I wish you had shown changing the line width through the paperspace view port : )
I have a problem. My drawing is very small. When using the tool line for example I type length of 10 lines can not be seen on the area. I've got a lot of to zoom to found how small is. I changed UNITS and nothing. Can you help me ?What should I doing ? Thanks in advance.
just saved me and my time thanks for your video
Thank you, second method works for me (y)
Thank you.... You have solve my problem
Best regards
Thanks a lot,I prefer by layer way.
1st one worked for me, cheers.
Pls help me...how to add a point with google map cordinator or text file
Hi Brandon, how to change all the object thickness at the same time? Tq in advacne
is there a way where a line AB decreases its thickness, line weight decreases gradually (0.80 mm > 06mm > 0.2mm > 0.10mm), from thik to thin at point A 0.8 mm and point b is 0.10mm?
Thank you!! I like the last choice.
Not a problem! Glad it helped
Has helped a lot, thanks.
Wonderful & simple instruction !
Thanks!
Thanks for this I found it really useful!
Glad I could help! Thanks for watching!
how about to change the circle thickness?
mine didnt show any difference how many time i change them they are still the same.. weird :/
I have the same problem... Have you found a solution?
Chourmouziadis Triantafyllia
type lw->check box display lineweight->ok
+Mayros Tyrannos Thnak you very much man. I had the same problem from long time
Now it is working Thanks :)
wow i wish that was mentioned first.
THANK YOU
Don't know if you are still out there :). I am using Autocad 2016 (Mac). I am in Model Space. I have the lineweight 'on' from my status bar. And I am simply drawing lines (no blocks). Before I draw the first line, I go into the Properties Inspector (in this version of Autocad, the linewidth isn't displayed in the layer window) and change the lineweight to 2mm. Then I draw a
line. It is wide. I now go into the Properties Inspector again and change the linewieght to 0.25mm. The displayed width of the existing first line does not change at all on the screen! (shouldn't it?). I draw a second line. Its width is small relative to the previous 2mm width. I can go back and create any number of lines with different widths all on the same layer. I thought that I should be able to change the lineweight setting of a layer (which I seem only to be able to do in the Property Inspector) and the lineweights of ALL the entities on that layer should change accordingly. But that is not what I am seeing.
Perhaps there is a different place that I can change the lineweight (than in the Property Inspector). Perhaps there is a way to have the lineweight setting show up in the Layer window so that it changes for everything on the layer? Autocad, so many settings, so little time, much frustration.
Type LWDISPLAY, then type 1 and press enter to activate this option (type 0 to turn it off). Now you can see the Line Weight being displayed

how about arc line or circle?
thank you so much.
Very Nice and good instruction details
Thank you, I'm glad you liked it!
Cheers
Thank you!
thank you very much
Tnx
Hi...
I am Following as same u telling here... But! I don't why its not increasing LINE SIZE in my file???
I like the 1st way better but the thing is that when my cad drawing is asking for 0.2mm thickness, it doesn't have that
second method works the best I think, then if you need to make any changes you modify the layer and not the line itself
Glad it helped! And thanks for watching!
thank you...
pretty good...
Thanks!
Thanks
tKS VERY HELPFUL
Great Thank You so much Buddy 😊👍
Glad it helped!
Cheers and thanks for watching

ahmadfarid mohd THANK YOU BRO AHMAD YOUR COMMENT HELP ME TOO
ahmadfarid mohd thanx alot
When I do this nothing changes.
Bummer. None of this works for me. Trying to draw thicker lines and no mater what--change layer width, change line width in properties, the line stays exactly the same. Why do people put up with the ridiculous program? Changing a line width should be absolutely simple and reliable. See ANYTHING by Adobe.
Double check that you have lineweight display turned on. There's a button along the bottom status bar with horizontal lines, it should be blue for on, or type in lineweight and hit enter, check the box that says display lineweights and hit ok.
Many including myself have lineweights turned off, they'll show up when printed but not when drawing, makes it easier to draw and after enough time, just know how it will look when plotted.
