Scale of line styles

jrichards

I recently discovered a bluebeam file which included lines with line style to suit different type of steel sections. The way the line style worked is that if the the page was 1:10 scale and the line weight was 1.0, the line style would produce a side on profile of a given steel I beam to scale.

I thought this simplified the process of developing sketches and wanted to develop my own custom line weights for various steel sections.

After some time spent in the custom line styles, I was able to get something similar using the adjust scale value, but was tedious and not 100% accurate.

Is there a better method to create line styles which can be scaled?

This is a good question @jrichards. I've used scaled tool chests for a while for a number of applications - but I've never heard a good explanation of how Revu changes the point weight for the lines. Perhaps someone from @Bluebeam Support1 can provide some insight.
