I have a question for CAD experts regarding the use of straight lines and multiple short lines When creating technical drawings, it was noticed that in many diagrams, single lines are used to represent pipelines, with multiple short lines employed; these short lines are set to a width of several dozen units, resulting in lines that appear very wide on the CAD drawing. However, when printed, the pipelines do not appear that wide. May I ask, what is the relationship between the number of short lines set and the line width actually printed on the drawing? Also, the lines set in the layers are quite wide, but they aren’t visible when viewing the image. What is the relationship between the line width of polylines and that of regular straight lines? I would appreciate recommendations from experts: what is the best method for drawing this type of single-line pipeline?
1 is a polyline rather than multiple short lines; those working in engineering had better be precise and pay attention to spelling mistakes. 2 The line width of polylines is fixed; if object line width is used in the printing settings, it doesn’t matter what the output scale is. If you specify a polyline with a line width of 1, that’s the width it will have. 3 Also, the lines set in the layer are quite thick, but they aren’t visible when viewing the image. What is the setting? How many thick lines have you set? How many thin lines have you set? 4 What is the relationship between the line width of a polyline and that of a regular straight line? It doesn’t matter at all. 5 What is the best way to draw this kind of single-line pipeline? Of course, it was drawn using the line command. It is also advisable to set the line width of the lines based on the layer, to facilitate modifications in the future. Polylines are used in relatively few cases, generally as underscores for text.
