How to change point size?

Sorpaw · March 2013

How do you change point size (not line width) on multiple entities? I have not run across a reference to changing point size, only line width.

What do you mean by point size? A point is by definition a non-sized entity. Could you elaborate a little bit on what you are trying to do here?

I mean the point size of the line (not line width) reflected at the top of the screen when I am working on my drawings. I would like to change all lines to the same point size, but I haven't seen a way on the screen. Usually it is expressed in terms of 0-2.54 mm or X". Am I understandable?

Ah, you are referring to the Pen thickness(The "P" at the top status bar).

The command for changing that is CHANGEPT (I think there might be a toolbar button for it in CC2, in CC3 you can find the command by right clicking the change properties button).

This command work like any other change command, so you can select the lines in the regular way, including using the various selection methods to select multiple lines ate once by type/color/etc...

"Pen Thickness" is rarely used in CC3 work, as its result will differ in look from the screen to either pixel export or print. Perhaps if you explained what you were trying to do we might be able to offer alternative solutions?

To Ralf's point; I am trying to even out the display of lines in a plan - some appear darker and thicker than others. It does not appear to be a "Line Thickness" issue, it may be a point issue.
Monsen; thank you.

Do a CHANGEPT, select All and set it to zero. That should make sure everything everything is set to the default pen thickness. If the appearance persist, it may be a color issue (are they the same color?), fill style (are they all fill stile solid?) or line width after all.
