Hello and good evening.
Please could someone educate me as to 'how to set specific line weights'.
For example if I work in metric how would I set a line-weight of say 0.01 instead of the thin, heavy etc...
I would like to set up a layer where everything which is drafted on this layer is 0.01mm - all lines, arcs, polylines etc.
Many thanks in advance.

Welcome to the group castlemaker,
Using Deltacad Version 8 (the latest version)
-first open deltacad choosing millimeter units.
-Go to 'options'>'drawing data' which will open another dialog box that you make specific changes to.
-under 'line thickness' change the thickness of thin lines to .010 (no need to change other lines)
-You may have to select NO to the 'scale with view scale' selection that is just above the line thickness selection, but wait to see if that is needed first.
-Click OK to exit
-Next go to 'options'>'options'>'default line weight' and change all weights to thin.
-Click OK to exit
-close Deltacad, then reopen to set changes

Thank you for your informed reply, I am able to set this up now and it works fine.
Is there a way to have specific line weights assigned per layer, for example...let's say I want to have three layers and on each layer anything that I draft on that layer , be it a line , arc, polyline and so on, will always be at the assigned line weight?
