Damn this is gold! The title does not lie! I now know how to master line weights and printing colors! I'll be checking out model v paper spaces v viewports next.

Been doing CAD a long time. STILL found things I didn't know in this. Great video. Thanks. Toggle Override Highlight. "Turns on or off the background highlighting for layer property overrides. By default, the background highlighting is turned off. Settings. Displays the Layer Settings dialog box, where you can set various display options." (per AutoDesk). Good luck with that. Ha! Have never used that either...I just go to the layer settings directly. Thanks again!

Very thorough, I'll be watching it again, you/re speaking very quickly. New to CAD, working with Land F/X a LA. My biggest struggle lately is the management of layers. Saving your video.

Your explanation is amazing! I really appreciate how you took the time to break it down in a way that's easy to understand. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

In your other videos

I like the topic
_Layer state in viewports
_ xref layering
_matching by layers instead of properties which is top notch.
_UCS topic also was very well explain.
_ xref attachment scale also was good
_xref relative path over full path
_ line weight overwrite/global width
_layer groups
_viewport freezing layers.
_viewport object, or polygonal
_layer settings "xref payer settings" which is tricky. And good well explained


Everything was very easy to understand.


Looking forward for more tutorial especially on command that is unfamiliar for some cad user.

💯🤝

Great video, is there an easy way to import a whole layer listing from another drawing?

@10:45 did you understand what yourself said?
I got so confused when you talked about ctb and global width.
