Revit Annotation Lineweight

[drewj]

I am setting up lineweights, and I have a tag and a pipe in a view. I have used Object Styles to set the Tag annotation line weight to 7. I have used a filter to catch the sanitary pipework and set it to line weight 7. however the annotation lineweight is about 50% thicker than the pipe object lineweight.

Is this due to the filter? or the fact that it is an annotation? or am I missing a setting?

model line weights depend on the view scale but annotation line weights do not.

Thanks for your reply, however when I change the scale of a view, an annotation item becomes bigger/smaller, and its thickness changes accordingly, the model objects stay the same size and get thicker/thinner accordingly.

So this indicates that the line weights do depend on the view scale... doesnt it?

I'm new to revit so I took that directly from the line weights dialog and I could be quite wrong in my interpretation. I think that it means that, although the lines appear larger for the annotations, they are actually the same weight at any view scale.
Any other explanations out there?

Have you tried opening the annotation family and changing the lineweights using object styles?

Not sure which platform your on.

(2011) Look at Manage > Additional Settings > Lineweights. Notice there are lineweight settings for different scales that correspond to your specific line weight value assigned in the object styles.

Im not sure if that answers your question, but maybe it will help along the way. This baffled me for a while why site model components were printing lighter than there corresponding building components.

FIgured it out... I just completly missed the fact that there are 3 tabs within the lineweights dialog box. I could argue that it is stupid to have 3 different lineweights for each lineweight number, but I guess my argument is founded on covering my lack of dialog reading skills, haha!!
