Hello colleagues,
Version 2.2.1.5
A suggestion regarding line width settings for the upcoming version: allow for up to three decimal places.
It should be possible not only to select from fixed line widths but also to enter values manually and save them.
I need line widths such as 0.825, 0.85, 0.875, 1.225, 1.4 mm.
I don't know how to program, otherwise I would tackle this myself.
Best regards, Dieter
Welcome @Dieter,
line width in DXF is stored in an 8 bit value, which allows line width from 0 to 2.50. So a 3 digit resolution is not possible.
Also line widths are standardised, they are equivalents to different pens in real drawing.
I also wondering about the need for this. A difference of 0.025 mm is hardly seen, on screen and on prints too.
dxf also has an lwpolyline primitive where you can specify the thickness. but as far as I understand, librecad does not support this. It’s not as convenient as lineweight, but sometimes we need to
