Define line weight by colour / color

Is it possible to define a line weight by colour? I think this can be done in AutoCAD but I have no idea how to set this up in Microstation.

We are using the Version SS3

  • Hi, you can use pen tables or the plotter driver configuration files for associating a plotting width to each of MicroStation's colour.

    You can refer to the section "Working with Complete Designs \Print Resymbolization and Pen Tables" of MicroStation's help to get started.

  • There is also a neat other way, use the csv remapping  feature to export  a V8i dgn to another  v8i dgn  it creates a spreadsheet  where you can import all the  settings of the current  file say colours  and set the export to set weights against the colours ...

    I have used this feature for levels and fonts before it has the  options for colours and weights ( turn on optional columns)  it should work with colours to weights too.
