3DVIA Composer Line Widths
Article by Rob Greer, CSWP updated June 28, 2010
In the 3DVIA Composer Technical Illustration module, line widths can be a bit tricky to figure out. This 3DVIA Composer tech tip should make it easier for you.
There are two main types of lines in Technical Illustrations, “Strong/Silhouette lines” and “Weak/Outline lines”. To control the thickness of these two lines we adjust 3 variables: “Global Line Width”, “Outline Width” and “Silhouette Width”. The location of these variables inside the 3DVIA Composer Technical Illustration interface is shown in the figure below.
