Maintaining Line Thickness when Zooming

The Thin Lines tool maintains the true thickness of lines relative to the zoom of the view. Typically, when
you zoom in on a model in a small scale view, element lines appear much thicker than they actually are.
When you activate the Thin Lines tool, it affects all views but does not affect printing or print preview.
To activate the tool, click View tab

View Scale

The view scale is the proportional system used to represent objects in a drawing. You can assign a different
scale to each view in a project. You can also create custom view scales.
To assign a view scale
Use one of the following methods:
In the Project Browser, right-click the view, and click Properties. In the Instance Properties dialog, for
View Scale, select a value.
Select a scale from the View Control Bar.
