Is there a variable I can add somewhere (in my workspace) to disable "by default" the Line weight view attribute toggle? On every file I open, on every view I open, I need to toggle it off, as so my team do. It's annoying, I'm getting use to it but if I can change it for good it will be best.
Thanks
I am not aware of any config variable that can be set, but you can assign this key-in string to a function key "VIEWATTRIBUTESDIALOG SETATTRIBUTE 0 LineWeights False" so you don't need to open the dialog and toggle it off in every drawing. If you want this setting to hold after you exit a drawing make sure to do a "Save Settings" before exiting the file. You can also set seed files to have this off.

Hey thanks! I didn't know that it will hold on if disable it in my seed file. I just did that and so far it seem to work as intended. So thanks again for taking the time to help me.
No problem. Glad it worked for you.
As suggested by mwlong, if you set this OFF in your seed file & do a save setting ( keyin is "filedesign" ), it will be seen set off in all the new files that you create using that seed file.
However for all you existing files, you will have to use the keyin to turn it off & do a save setting. You can even create a batch process that will open all the dgn files in a project folder & execute these keyins, one to turn it off & other for save settings.
One thing to note here is that, these View Attribute setting are View Specific , so if you want it OFF in all the views you will have to use the keyin for all views
VIEWATTRIBUTESDIALOG SETATTRIBUTE 0 LineWeights False
VIEWATTRIBUTESDIALOG SETATTRIBUTE 1 LineWeights False
VIEWATTRIBUTESDIALOG SETATTRIBUTE 2 LineWeights False
..
[for all 8 views]
VIEWATTRIBUTESDIALOG SETATTRIBUTE 7 LineWeights False
filedesign

These can all be strung together on one function key by separating them with a ;
VIEWATTRIBUTESDIALOG SETATTRIBUTE 0 LineWeights False; VIEWATTRIBUTESDIALOG SETATTRIBUTE 1 LineWeights False; VIEWATTRIBUTESDIALOG SETATTRIBUTE 2 LineWeights False; VIEWATTRIBUTESDIALOG SETATTRIBUTE 3 LineWeights False; VIEWATTRIBUTESDIALOG SETATTRIBUTE 4 LineWeights False; VIEWATTRIBUTESDIALOG SETATTRIBUTE 5 LineWeights False; VIEWATTRIBUTESDIALOG SETATTRIBUTE 6 LineWeights False; VIEWATTRIBUTESDIALOG SETATTRIBUTE 7 LineWeights False; filedesign
If you wanted to process all the existing files you could utilize the batch process tool, File > Tools > Batch Process
