Hi there!

Problem: when I "dwg2bmp" a file with special line types, they render very thick!

Description: running into a strange issue with line weights for non-continuous line types. If I try to rasterize the following file:
I get this:
But as far as I can tell inspecting the file with a GUI, neither the lines nor the layers have any line weight associated to it. Furthermore, if I simply resave the same file with a different software and "dwg2bmp" it, I get the right rasterization:
Which property is making the line render so thick? What am I missing?

Using the following call:

That is a Polyline with customized width. That's not the layer line weight.

Ooooh, I see, that makes sense. So, how could I change that through ECMAScript? I only see getters for the vertices on the RPolylineEntity class:

Thanks!

I can confirm the setter methods are not exposed to the entity class.

You'd have to do this (where e is your RPolylineEntity object):

Sounds good.

In your code, are 0 the vertex index and 7 the line width in drawing units? Should I then iterate over all vertices in the polyline, setting Start and EndWidth? How about using RPolyline.setWidth(double) to set the width of the whole thing?

Thanks a lot!

Yes.

That would be setGlobalWidth(double).
