Down, go to Settings (image below).

This is a chart of the pen weights by drawing scale. This is a very nice feature that Revit has which allows you plot the drawing at various
scales without worrying if the pen weights will be to heavy or light according to the scale you have selected. This was accomplished in Autocad by
having multiple pen configurations for different plotters and remembering to select the correct one for the correct scale in Autocad.
Note that there are two tabs at the top of the Line Weight pop up. One is for Model Line Weights, the other for Annotation Line Weights. There
is only the sixteen pen weight choices for the Annotation. (image below).
