Line Thickness

The following task explains the methodology for managing V5 line thicknesses for V4 to V5 migration. You will learn: 
  • how the migration of line thicknesses is carried out,
  • and what you need to pre-define concerning the V5 standard parameters before starting the migration process.

Migration mechanism

When a line is migrated from V4 to V5, the closest existing V5 thickness will be taken into account to create the new line. Therefore, the V4 existing thicknesses have to be re-defined in V5.

Pre-definition

You need to re-create line thicknesses in V5, based on the existing V4 line thicknesses.

In V4, line thicknesses are defined in the STANDARD function, under DRAW ELT.

In V5, line thicknesses are defined in the Standards Editor, under Standard > name_of_standard > Line Thickness. The following fields should be referenced:

  • Availability (defines if the line is available to create new elements),
  • Thickness for browsing (in pixels),
  • Thickness for plotting (in mm).
