How can I increase the line thickness of pasted AutoCAD entities

R

Reg

I CTRL Copy a lot of AutoCAD drawings for pasting into Word Documents. The
pasted entity has a very fine lineweight and is hard to see.

Does anyone know how to increase the pasted entity line thickness so it is
easier to see?

They only way I've been able to heavy up the lines is to make them polylines
in autocad with an appropriate thickenss, but this is not always possible.

Hi Reg,

What version of Word and AutoCad are you using?

If you use 'Paste Special' in Word what format is being selected for pasting?

Have you tried exporting to a graphic format from AutoCad and inserting the picture in Word?
