Line thickness and points too big

Post by paddle »

Hi there!
I have been trying to make a drawing of a part, but I can't get correct line thickness and there're big points showing up everywere.

I then tried to select custom scaling and aplied a 5:1 scaling but the points and line still seem too big.

Note: the body I'm trying to draft is one of a much bigger assembly. So I wonder if it's not because the drafting takes automatically set the line/point dimensions according to the whole object?

Is there a way to modify the line thickness and points radius?
Thanks!

I'm using v0.19, though the part has been made on 0.18.

If the points are too big during editing, e.g. obscuring center marks: Preferences->TechDraw->VertexScale
LineWidth can be changed in the View attributes of each view in the secction Lines, or globally in Preferences->TechDraw->Annotation->LineWidthGroup.
