I need the ability to change the lineweight when viewing a DWF.

With this feature one would be able to insert DWFs from Architects and trace the important lines while creating new approvals.

Assuming the orignals are drawn accurately.

Most Architects do not want to release their DWGs or their files are corrupt so DWFs are great except when you get one with huge lineweights that make tracing almost impossible.

DWF is a published format. It is like a piece of paper. What the architect wants on the paper is what goes in the file. If you coudl change things, you might misinterpret his intent. A wide line might be a gas line. A thin line might be an electrical line.

I understand where you are coming from Scott, but it would be nice to turn off line weights, (like in Revit) to be able to see multiple lines when they overlap due to line weight. This could arguably lead to better interpretation of intent.

+1 for toggling line weights
