    Line weight settings via API

    I am hoping to dabble in Macro creation while also fixing the @%#$ silly bit where Revit forces it's own line weights into a family when you Edit the family from project Browser. I use line weights 10-16 as non scaling line weights, and having all my hidden lines and elevation swings (line weight 11) suddenly huge when editing a family is just annoying. Anyway, I HOPE to address this, but so far as I can find mucking about in the Object Browser, there is actually no access to settings like this? Am I right in this assessment? I was also hoping to use a macro to address Unit settings as all the unit settings in every single family template are bogus. A macro to fix em as I build my own templates would be dandy. Again, seems this has not been exposed?
    Hoping someone can point out where I am missing the obvious! Been a long while since I did code, and that was VBScript and hardly counts, so I fell more than just a little behind.

    Thanks,

    HI Gordon.

    I don't have any idea about line weights but could have a look when I get some time. As for the family units they can be changed as per the code below;

    Code:
     Dim oProjectUnit As ProjectUnit = doc.ProjectUnit
 Dim oFormatOptions As FormatOptions = oProjectUnit.FormatOptions(UnitType.UT_Length)

 Dim t As New Transaction(doc, "Door Factory")
 t.Start()
 oFormatOptions.Units = DisplayUnitType.DUT_DECIMAL_INCHES
 oFormatOptions.Rounding = 0.001
 t.Commit()
    Cheers

      Thanks Philip. Glad at least part of what I am trying to do is possible. Amazing how large the object model is. And that with so much stuff still missing. Crazy complex. Hopefully I can get my head around it, and perhaps around C# as well. If I have to punt to VB.Net I will, but I would like to learn some C#. Inches me closer to being able to code in Obj-C/Cocoa!

        Hi Gordon.

        Not a problem.

        Yeh C# would be the way to go. Heaps more Revit code samples for it.

        Good luck.

        Cheers
