Dear BIMja's

I have no experience with programming and don't even know how to begin writing a macro (although it is on my wish list to learn).  Any advice would be appreciated.  I'd like make a bold line that outlines the extents of my interior elevations.  I can do this by editing the crop region to fit the profile, then selecting the crop region and overriding the graphics in view.  However I have upwards of 150 interior elevation views and would need to do this individually.  Surely there is a way to automate the task - it is the same sequence over and over.

I have already scanned the interwebz for a way to control the lineweight of all crop regions, but several posts across several forums confirm this has to be edited individually.  If any one knows differently or can help me put together a script to accomplish this, that would be swell.

Thanks.

If its exported to DWG, can you adjust your Modify DWG/DXF Export Setup to make the viewport border a thicker pen weight (either by controlling the translation of the Viewport line pattern or the layer output?

Just to update, Michael Kilkelly, from the blog archsmarter, helped me out on this.  Macro is available in his free library here: http://archsmarter.com/revit-macro-library/  along with a few other really useful ones.
