Hello,
I'm working on preparing maps of system pressures, etc. to present in an engineering report. I'm using WaterCAD V8i within AutoCAD 2011.
I would like to display and plot my pipes at a thicker lineweight, but haven't found a way to do so. I've tried adjusting lineweight in autocad properties and also looked for somewhere to increase the thickness through watercad pipe modeling properties, etc. pipes always plot the same zero weight/default thickness.
I've unintentionally changed lineweight and had it affect watercad pressure contours plotting thickness (not what I want).
Does anyone have ideas or tricks to adjust the plotted thickness of pipes?
Thanks, Ryan
Ryan,
If you are using color coding, in the element symbology edit the color coding properties. For the Options on the top right, select color and size. In the chart below that you will see the size. The larger the number the thicker the line.

Thank you.
Yes, I tried that and agree it works if in stand alone Watercad. However, changing the thickness through WaterCad symbology doesn't affect the displayed pipe thickness when using in AutoCAD.
I tried this in WaterCAD for AutoCAD and it appears to work there, also. In the screenshot below, the green is at 10, the aqua is at 8, the magenta is at 4 and the red is at 5. You can see the difference in the thicknesses.
