??Line weights and plot styles
I have a general question that will probably get 100 different answers.First of all I am a second year student at The Art Institute of New York City.I have had intro to CAD, (learned the basics), and advanced CAD.Unfortunately, the two classes were taught by two different teachers with two totally different styles.Both knew what they were doing, unfortunately, our semesters are only 11 weeks.Neither taught us anything about plotting.So here is my question:Every class I deal with where we do projects in CAD the teacher says show line weights.Ok, I can get the concept of line weights but is there an industry standard for walls, floors, elevations, etc?Thick to one of my teachers is .5 and another says 2.0.WTF?Some teachers have sent us plot styles but when I drop them in the plot style manager, I'm not getting too much of a difference.I know that printing and plotting are two different sides of the universe when it comes to line weights.one class she wants us to plot, and the other he wants us to just print on 11x17 bond.I have layers that he sent us but for line type in the layer properties manager just say default.Is there a professional or someone who really knows what they are doing out there that can post a drawing to be printed with poper line weights, and one to be plotted also with proper line weights?Do I have to go into the layers property manager and set the line weight for every single layer I made in the past? I know this is a long and drawn out post but CAD is a lot to learn in 11 weeks.I am open to criticism, and always open to learning something new.For the past 9 months we have been sharing our knowledge with each other.I think its time to ask the professionals.Thank you for reading and posting.
