70002872 Support Display Scale of LineWeight

Summary

Is it possible to scale the line weight display? It would be highly beneficial to be able to distinguish between line weights such as 0.20(LW_20) and 0.35(LW_35) directly on screen

Solution

In version 12.0.2 a new property LineWeightDisplayScale of vdDocument was added
Get/Set the scale factor for displaying line weights on screen for model space only.

Valid range is from 0.5 to 3.0. Values less than 1.0 will make the line weights appear thinner, while values greater than 1.0 will make them appear thicker.
This is especially useful for users with high-resolution (4K or 8K) monitors where standard lines might appear too thin to distinguish
Default value : 1.0 (no scaling).
This value does not affect the actual line weight of the entities, but only how they are displayed on screen in model space.
When printing or plotting, the line weights will be rendered according to their actual values regardless of this setting.
It is not saved to the the document.
It can be set once when the document is created and initialized and will keep the same value after calling the New() or Open(string) methods.
Raizes the OnBeforeModifyObject event and the OnAfterModifyObject event.
