How do you Make Thin Lines?

Greg

Hello,

I thought this would be easy, but I don't see how to make the lines in the objects thin. They are thin when I move the object, but as soon as the object stops the lines change to thick, like going from pen to magic marker.

Is there a way to make and keep the lines thin?

Thank you.

Greg,

View: Edge style: Profiles unchecked?

I'm gonna guess you have "profile edges" selected: go into the "display settings" menu in SU5 (the "styles" menu, "edges" tab, in SU6) to check...?

Greg

Thanks Jim and tomsdesk. Unchecking 'Display Edges' does not do it because I'm using lines to simulate empty bins in a virtual warehouse, but setting the line profile from 3 to 1 does the trick.

I'm trying to derive the Ruby commands to do this programmatically.

Hi Greg,

Please look again at the suggestions. Neither Tom nor I said to turn off Display edges. We said to turn off Profiles, and gave 2 ways to do it.

As for the Ruby commands...
