I loved your video. Can you make one about scaling lineweights across different drawing scales? I'm trying to create a standard layer list that will display the thickness hierarchy correctly and clearly across many different drawing scales, i.e 1:250 to 1:3,000.
Audrey you have a great passion for your work! I agree that colors and line weights make a difference when designing in cad, and it seems that it is lost when you're in a corporate environment and have to comply with standards.. I once changed our firms colors to help a key employee because he was partially colorblind and could discern colors by intensity (then I had to change them back when he left). Thanks for your posts! subscribed.
I prefer the color plotstyle coz you can export that plotstyle anywhere in your drawing,, and I always find drawings with colors based on their character or place in the drawing...
Thank you Audrey! Great tutorial again. Is it common practice for a lineweight setup to have different combinations of weights for various scale drawings? And what scale are the line weights you suggested, best used for? Thanks so much!
Hi, how do you enable plotting of different scaled views of the same objects? I mean how do you get the bigger scale to print the walls thicker for example. Thanks.
It seems like using the color plot style makes a lot more sense.. instead of making things more complicated and going into each individual layer and editing the lineweight
I definitely think color based plot styles can be helpful - particularly with large teams working in AutoCAD! But they are a bit more complex to set up for a designer working on their own. And the teacher in me also thinks controlling the line weight directly (instead of thinking in color) means the principles of line weights are better understood and applied. (That said, I've never been able to un-learn the colors of one of my first jobs, e.g. all cabinets should be drawn in 21.)
@@audreynoakes I just started working for a very new firm and I'm trying to make my own cad base file. I downloaded an old CTB file to use and noticed it is primarily a color based plot style. Now that i'm working in a smaller firm I'm trying to figure out how to unlearn this... and create my own. I understand it may be a bit more complex. I wish it was easier to figure out. You know what I don't understand is that I did actually just start with a normal base file, created layers and adjusted their lineweight. but they still all printed in the same lineweight. So i actually just imported my 'old faithful' layers and am using my xerox CTB to plot them in their correct (to what i'm used to) lineweight.
How to avoid very dark & very faint line ? I'm constantly facing problems with the same for blueprint By applying *by layer* thickness I'm getting more dark & broad drawing & by applying 0.00 mm & 0.18mm I'm getting faint drawing

nice video with a beautiful voice and useful information, thanks
Thank you again for the clarity of practice.
Wow, This is what i was looking for.. Thnx for this video
Love this, keep up the good work. thanks!
Thank you Audrey. Great tutorial.
Thank you very much. You really help me. I always getting problem to controle my line weight in my drawing.
Thanks this was good! Please bear in mind, the cut line ( plan view ) is typically at 48".
Amazing tutorial
Nice tutorial, thanks for such a good information.,
Thanks so wonderful explanation.
Hi! I'm an architecture student. This is very helpful tutorial for me. I love you and your drawings. \😅🥰
Your crazy...how can you love someone you havent met?
Thanks Audrey. 😊
Thank you, AN. Do you have a video on creating views and sections?
Can't believe Mr hazlewood is making us do this 😭🗣🗣
Thank You! ❤️

One thing I’ve learned for line weights is to draw everything using poly lines instead of lines.
Yep, lineweights do play a big role for the clarity of the drawings.
Love from India

Hi, how do you enable plotting of different scaled views of the same objects? I mean how do you get the bigger scale to print the walls thicker for example. Thanks.
I always use linewight 0.60 for my exterior wall
how you compare default to control weight? bottom line default equal to what thickness?
Why don't you use the plot style table editor for the line weight setting?
Love it
Why don't you use the CSI-UDS Uniform Drawing System for using Lineweights and standard AIA Layers?

6:18 still isn't working...
tip: never try Dimensioning with Lineweights Shown-activated. Makes the Cursor "fumble" for accuracy, and precise-positioning.
Hi, can you tell me the exact lineweights for each and every things, to look more proportionate,
Hi there, I’ve got a freebie in my free resource library that has a layers cheatsheet that should be helpful! audreynoakes.com/home/resources-library/
I set my furnitures in gray color with .00 mm.
How to avoid very dark & very faint line ?

& by applying 0.00 mm & 0.18mm I'm getting faint drawing
have same problem here, i been looking for the answer for a year now. no body seem talking abt it...
@@naku-ra851apply line thickness as 0.030mm
my printer dose not print line less then 0.1mm, what can i do ?
Get a new printer
It did not work
You didn't explain at all how to change the line weights with each color.
