Autocad scaling

I'm studing AutoCAD and encountered with a scale problem.

I write a simple detail, but when i'm setting Lineweight 1.00 mm AutoCAD draw 2cm line instead of 1mm line. I tried to change scale in Annotate -> Dimensions -> Scale factor = 0.05, but it didn't help.

Here is two screenshots: how it is with and withoud LWB pressed. It does some crazy things when I want just to create a line a bit thicker than default.enter image description hereenter image description here

I have the same problem, but this post wasn't very helpful And this post wasn't neither

I posed it gere according to this aricle that says, that SO is the best options for this kind of questions: https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/188052/which-stack-exchange-site-is-best-for-autocad-questions

Solution

  • The scale factor only controls the scale of the linetype.

    To change the way the lineweight displays on the screen, right click on the "Show/Hide Lineweight" toggle at the very bottom, click "Settings..." and adjust the slider labelled "Adjust Display Scale".

    Note that this will not change the printed weight of the lines, just how they show up on your monitor.
