Displaying Lineweights in drawings

[randamille]

Is there a way to "turn on" display line weights in a drawing. I use Autocad to do a lot of schematics and in order to save drawing space, I need to but wires into a "bundle" at one end of the drawing and break them out at the other end. I want to increase the line weight of the "bundled" wires. It seems to print ok, but I cannot see it on my screen. I am also not sure what value to use, and would like to be able to preview the weights before I use them. Thanks in advance.

In the Windows version, that would be controlled with the system variable LWDISPLAY.

A quick google shows an excerpt from Mastering AutoCAD for the Mac that indicates that is present in your version as well.

I hope that works for you.
