Lineweight

[mindreaderlupo]

Hi,

I am trying to rebuild existing Autocad files with this lib to automate drawing generation.

In the documentation, I got the point how to create Layers and Linetypes. I am currently struggeling to attatch Lineweights to an Entity, Block or (this would be the best case) a Layer.
I need Lineweight for 2 reasons: 1. Printing, 2. create bold text blocks

Could someone help me with a small example?

Thanks a lot and best regards
Felix

Hi,

unfortunately in the current version you cant customize that.

But in the next version this will be doable, still the next branch in development.

example using the new api:

const writer = new Writer();
const modelSpace = writer.document.modelSpace;

// Display the Lineweight
writer.document.addVariable("$LWDISPLAY").add(290, 1);

const green = writer.document.tables.addLayer({
  name: "Green",
  colorNumber: Colors.Green,
});

modelSpace.addLine({
  start: point(),
  end: point(100, 100),
  lineWeight: 200, // Set the Lineweight. Should be the value * 100, not sure why!
  layerName: green.name,
});

Stay tuned, the next version will be 3.0.0.

Regards.

Thanks! Looks like some breaking changes but totally worth it :)

Yeah, I am trying to fix some problems in the previous implementation.

Just need more time until its ready to publish.
