Is there any way to turn off lineweight of selected items?
I'm in version V8i SELECT series 10 (Windows 10), previous version V8 (2004 edition) changed only color of selected items, but not lineweight. Now, its not possible to edit the text, because I can't see what is there?!Thank you in advance!
Select the elements and use the 'Change Attributes' tool to change whatever attribute you want. (Another method that does not change the elements would be to turn off Line Weights in the View Attributes.)
I don't want to change element lineweight, and I don't want change lineweight to all drawing elements per View Attributes method (It reduces lineweigt to entire drawing). I just want when Selection is "On", not to change line thickness, but keep it in the same style as it is not selected.
Is there any way to change Selection Preferences?
I have selected text above in my post. All 3 rows with gray color were affected by selection. Blue color text above was not selected, and you can compare how line weight changed.
Hi Igor,

I had a chance to test how selection worked in V8 2004 Edition (which is old and not supported version for years) and you are right, at this version, when elements were selected, the highlight was implemented using color only, not weight.
I assume, but have not chance to test it, that it was changed in V8 XM Edition, probably as a part of introduction of new graphics engine based on DirectX (and not OpenGL as older versions). So I think it's not about the difference V8 2004 Edition and V8i (SELECTseries 10), but about V8 2004 Edition and all later version.
It means that MicroStation has worked this way (a selection means changed both color and weight) for probably last 14 years. It's possible to change the highlight color, but not weight (I do not recall any such information or discussion).

The selected text looks slightly thicker, but it looks like it is dependent on the font - in the image below, the True Type is not thicker.
Jan's post adds extra information - I also believe there is no way to amend the 'thickness' when selecting something.
The magenta line appears thicker than the black line.

That's the answer. The True Type does not appear thicker only because it is bold.
