Current Line Width
The Current Line Width command enables you to change the current line width to the one of a selected entity. The current current line width is the width used to draw entities on the screen. It is displayed and dynamically updated in the Line Width drop-down list button in the Statusbar.
If you change the current line width, all entities subsequently created will be drawn using the new line width you chose, while the ones created before you selected the new width will not be affected by the change.
To change the current line width, proceed as follows:
The line width of the selected entity will be set as the current one and it will be immediately displayed in the Line Width drop-down list button in the Statusbar.
The Current Line Width command can be used also when another command is active, which can be very useful. Suppose, for example, you have started the Parallel Line command: once you have selected the reference line, you can change the current Line Width so that it will be applied to the resulting parallel line, which will be drawn using the new current Line Width you chose.
| An alternative way to use the Line Width command Instead of setting the current line width by changing it to the one of a selected entity, the Current Line Width command also enables you to make the change using another method.
The new line width will be set as the current one and it will be immediately displayed in the Line Width drop-down list button in the Statusbar.
