Line Thickness of Virtual Intersections - SolidWorks

Hello

How do you  set the line thickness for a virtual intersection?

In the attached example, it's very thick and I don't know where to fix it.

Yours sincerely

Indeed, they are a bit big.

By clicking on it you can't see their respective layer if they have any?

Maybe it's silly what I'm going to say, but while selecting your virtual intersection, you tried to play around with layers?

Solidworks Help: "A virtual intersection creates a sketch point at the virtual intersection point of two sketch entities."

So, I guess these are sketch entities, try to change the line font in your options.

And if you change the line style, what does it look like?

This kind of thing should be in the "Document Properties", but I don't see anything specific in the "Virtual Intersections" tab

There is no layer.

These are virtual intersections made on a plan to be able to dimension.

The dimensioning is fine but the lines are too thick and if I select them, the icons like thicknesses or colors are grayed out.

I had already tried all the options, they are all thick.

yes but if you put an asterisk instead

It changes the overall visual and doesn't disturb the drawing too much, right?

Have you tried changing the line fonts as shown in my other post?

Yes, it doesn't matter.

I'm on a MEP

13

Yes, I had seen ^^
Otherwise, try to change all the thicknesses one by one, and not only the one of the sketch curves, there must be one that controls your virtual intersections :-/

Another oddity, this happens depending on the workstation. (see image)

Yet, I also don't see anything in the System Options pertaining to virtual intersections...

Hi Alain, to find out where it comes from, try to cross your models: model of the layout of the house at work...

This will allow you to know if it comes from: the drawing model (very likely), the room model (yes I know, but while we're at it!) and even the configuration (sldreg file by the parameter copy tool).

When you make a print or a PDF, does it stay like that too? 

Because this kind of thing has already happened to me. Where the solidworks representation was too thick, but in nikel printing (display bug probably for one reason or another)

Hello

 

A solution proposed here:

Do I have to translate?

Basically, create a new line, then don't put down the first point but go to the line format tool to change the thickness. And I think that we need to re-insert the virtual intersections.

You might try one more thing (at least it has worked for me before): 

While in the drawing, select the line tool, but do not actaully draw the line. Now go to the Line Format tool bar and change the thickness setting to thin. You may lose the line command in the process, but theoretically it will put the next sketched line, or point in this case, to the thickness that you have pre-selected. 

You can probably use that to get it to go to "Default" as well, but I would try this to fix the points format first. 

I don't know if this is a bug, but it has been a work around for me for years.

Bingo

That's a good @.PL!

First you have to change the line thickness and then do the virtual intersection.

 Those already drawn can no longer be modified.

One more thing I understood
