Changing the Wire Width

Hi all

 

When printing my drawings, the threads  come out very thin and I would like to change their width (thickness), how is this achievable? 

 

Thank you in advance.

Kind regards.

P.S: I'm on SWE 2014

Hello

A simple right-click on a thread is not enough?

 

Otherwise see also the styles of cables:

Or 

http://www.hawkridgesys.com/tutorials/solidworks-electrical/solidworks-electrical-wire-management-adding-wire-styles/

Or see this image and link:

Finally, you have to go to the properties of the document to apply it to all the threads.

 

Hello .PL,

 

Right-clicking on the feed does not allow you to validate the change of properties (OK button greyed out), you have to go to the feed manager (as in the examples you cite).

It changes the size of the wire (cad modifies this property), but not visually... The wire keeps the same width as the others!

Can you do it?

 

Personally it's problematic for a color scheme... :/

 

Kind regards.

Is this the latest version installed (no update in 2014)?

Is it a cable between two components or also linked to a sketch or other?

Because this last point is problematic.

This is version  2014.0.4 BUILD 19

You will find what you need to modify the cables and wires to know if the wires and cables in question are in your library or to create them

you know everything

@+ ;-))

No no, any cable (power 230/380, 24v, 0v, between 2 components....)

 

Thank you for your help;)

except that, gt22, here my question is different.....

 

Just for the record, when I ask a question on a forum it's because I've already searched by myself for several hours, and I'm looking for help to get out of the impasse.

@GT22 it was DL who asked this question too!

I don't know if this link can help:

It's a bit tedious but by creating a PDF/ exporting it to Word and changing the line weights one by one...

 

Thank you Tomalam,

 

Indeed downright tedious!

The support answered me with a (slightly) less tedious solution....

 

File -> Print -> "Path Style Table"-> uncheck "Plot with Ep" -> choose a style from the drop-down menu and change it for each of the colors!

 

WARNING: personally for me the file "fill patterns.tps" puts my cartridge in bulk.....

Hello

for beginners like me,

don't forget to check "Trecer with style"  and choose the Monochrome.tps style at least in the configuration window of the print
