Line Weight Scale

Enter a value larger than 1.0 to increase the viewport line weights, or a value below 1.0 (but larger than 0) to decrease the line weights

Marker Scale

Enter a value larger than 1.0 to increase the viewport marker size, or a value below 1.0 (but larger than 0) to decrease the marker size

Line Type Scale

Enter a value larger than 1.0 to increase the length and spacing of viewport line type segments, or a value below 1.0 (but larger than 0) to decrease the length and spacing of line type segments

Hatch Line Scale

Enter a value larger than 1.0 to increase the spacing between viewport hatch lines, or a value below 1.0 (but larger than 0) to decrease the spacing between hatch lines

Text Scale

Enter a value larger than 1.0 to increase the text size in viewports, or a value below 1.0 (but larger than 0) to decrease the text size; only associated viewport text is affected. Graphic objects that are part of the text item, such as a reference marker container or callout bubble, are scaled with the text.

Dimensional objects inside plug-in objects, such as dimensions within a bubble grid object, are not scaled. Plug-in objects, such as a North arrow object, are not scaled if they have been placed while editing the viewport in Edit Annotation mode.

Page Symbol Scaling

These settings affect page-based symbols in the viewport (see Symbol Types)

Symbol Scale

Sets a scale factor for page-based symbols; a scale factor of less than one decreases the size of the symbol relative to its definition at a 1:1 scale, while a factor of more than one increases its size

Attribute Scaling

These settings affect the attributes (such as line weight) of page-based symbols in the viewport

Use Symbol Factor

Uses the Symbol Scale factor to scale the attributes

Use Individual Factors

Uses the other, individual scale factors in the Advanced Properties dialog box, such as the Line Weight Scale, to scale the page-based symbol attributes

Show Wall Components

Displays or hides wall and slab components in Top/Plan view, regardless of the document preferences detail display setting (see Document Display Preferences)

Render Gray Layers Transparent

Design layers with a visibility set to “Gray” are rendered as transparent, similar to the transparent effect achieved with the Unified View command (see Unified Layer View)

Black and white only

Changes all colors in the viewport to black or white; this is useful for displaying two viewport copies on the same sheet layer, with one in color and the other in black and white. However, if the document preferences display setting is black and white, viewports will also display as black and white.

Adjust Flipped Text

Re-orients rotated and flipped text in the viewport so that it is always readable. The text box stays in the rotated and flipped position relative to the dimension line, but the text itself is re-oriented. (This setting overrides the flipped text preference for the document; see Document Display Preferences.)

Re-Position Dimension Text

Re-positions rotated and flipped dimension text in the viewport according to the text position in the dimension standard. The text itself stays in the rotated and flipped orientation, but the text box position relative to the dimension line is changed. (This setting overrides the flipped text preference for the document; see Document Display Preferences.)
