Issue:
After turning off lineweight display in AutoCAD, either by setting the LWDISPLAY variable to ‘off’ or clicking off the “Show/Hide Lineweight” button on the status bar, when executing a regen or any command that facilitates a regen, lineweights will be displayed on screen, even though LWDISPLAY is still off.
Causes:
A plot style table applied to a drawing overrides lineweights, both when displaying and plotting. This process is intended behavior.
Solution:
To stop the lineweights from being drawn with every regen, edit page setup and turn off “Display Plot Styles.”
