You are a life saver! I was just told after spending hours on a project to make the polylines 1". I did NOT want to select each line individually. Made it so much faster. Thank you!!

Type LWDISPLAY, then type 1 and press enter to activate this option (type 0 to turn it off). Now you can see the Line Weight being displayed

I copied lines from another drawing and pasted then into mine. They were on different layers and were different widths. I used the join command to make one line which worked however they are still show as different widths on screen just as they looked before joining. I want the lines to look small when i zoom in or out for ease of drawing and editing. I don't want the line to appear thicker as I zoom in. What am I doing wrong?
