How to change the Lineweight for the "0" Layer?

Post by Dacicusan » Sat Oct 14, 2017 11:16 am

I want to change the Lineweight for the layer "0" globally, so that every time I'm creating a new file to have Lineweight as 0.00mm but seems that it is not possible? In the preferences, the Layer/Add Layer/Default Lineweight for new layers seems to don't have any effect for the "0" layer. It will be great if the Lineweight preference from Settings will change also the Lineweight for the "0" layer as I set for all the new created layers.

I can confirm that the configured layer default color and default lineweight will also be used for the initial layer 0 in the next release.

I see this, but what exactly is the "default" line weight? I mean in real terms? Sorry to sound dumb, but where is "default" set and what is it's weight?

This value exists for compatibility only. It's one of the possible values for line weight as per DXF/DWG standard. In QCAD, the default line weight is treated the same as 0.00mm, i.e. the smallest possible line weight for the device and cannot currently be changed.
