AutoCAD Lineweights and plotstyles

[@laurenpratt2365]

Thank you, thank you for this! I'm SO happy to have found you. Just started my own landscape design business and I have 15+ years of CAD experience BUT I've always had everything set up for me at my jobs and this kind of clear explanation is just what I needed. Having to start everything from scratch is so different than just sitting down and having it all done for you! I'll be watching regularly and SO appreciate it!! :)

[@FirstInArchitecture]

Thank you Lauren, very kind of you to take the time to comment. If you get stuck along the way just drop me an email, I'd be happy to help. Best of luck with your new business! :)

How can you get your drawing to look hand drawn like the one in the thumbnail? I really like how it looks. Is it something to do with visual styles?

[@nathanblake5335]

Hi, I just came across your channel and I really like the way you have your cad setup in terms of how you organised your ribbon toolbars etc, as seen at 2:14. You wouldnt have a video on how you achieved making it look like this would you?

[@FirstInArchitecture]

Hi Nathan, what version of AutoCAD are you using?

@Bridger Kenzo glad I could help xD

[@drvlive2023]

Thank you for this video, I finally gained a better understanding of this topic. My only concern, is to which element should receive a certain line weight; from the structure (ext walls, int walls, fixtures, furnitures, d&w, finishes,etc.), up to the whole site itself (roads, landscape, topo, etc.)

Thank you, great tutorial! Very clear and good explanation of this topic (which can easily be quite confusing!)

[@FirstInArchitecture]

Thank you - good to know it helped :)

[@antoniiocaluso1071]

a very-interesting setup of all the palettes and tools...on the side!! As the CAD-god surely intended for our proper-display on our monitors!! Nice! Perhaps you'd create a video of THAT maneuver, and how one replicates your GUI, as above. btw....I do NOT use ACAD, as way-too-expensive. Instead, and a tip for you, is to switch to...ActCAD. And save a zillion$$$ (or whatever :-) Your welcome! From an old CAD-Designer (since '82, and dinosaurs roamed)))

Why is lineweight important in autocad?

[@FirstInArchitecture]

Lineweight is important in any program where you are creating architectural drawings. Lineweight helps to show the important elements on the drawing and give a sense of depth or hierarchy.

omg thank you so much !!
