    Default Line Thickness' on Title Block when Imported

    I have created a title block in Revit using Revits default line (ie. wide lines, medium lines, etc) When i insert it into the project file all of my thick lines are defaulted to very thin, and no difference between the thick or thin lines. I am sure I am doing something wrong and it is probably a simple answer, but I can't figure it out.

    Any help would be great.

    Thanks

    Do you have Thin Lines turned on? (keyboard shortcut = TL)

    Check the Object Styles for the Titleblock (Annotation Tab) in your project. For some reason they come out of the box with the line weights reversed for Thick and Thin.

    Thanks

    Thin lines was turned off. In my object styles it had all my line thickness set to 1. I looked in there for lines but never title block. It looks much better. Is there anyway to use more than just thin, medium and wide lines to make a title block. I added new lines but when creating the family the new lines didn't show up in my pull down selection. (I am using Revit 09)

    I have created thick lines in a titleblock family by creating a sub-category under Title Blocks but when I load the family into a project the thick lines do not appear as such. I have TL turned on. I can see the styles I created in the list of available line types. Why don't the line types come across even when I delete and reload the Title Block family (in my project)?
    The lines appear correctly in the Family.

    I worked it out.
    I opened the Family I created and used Transfer project standards to bring the line-types into the Project.
