How can I add more line types (line styles) to my title block. I have an existing AutoCAD block that I want to re-create in Revit, but the standard line styles are not bold enough.
Thanks in advance....

I'm sure there is another way around it, but when I found myself faced with the same problem, I made the "thick" lines with filled regions. I know that works, it's not that hard to do, I just copied the lines on the title block right into my "filled region" sketching area, and offset them, then erased my original lines. Hope that works for you too.

Can't you make new line types in the object settings?

I tried making new line types and adjusting the styles to varying thicknesses, but when I printed it out, they were all still very thin, maybe I didn't fiddle around with it enough, I spent half the time making filled regions than I did just trying to get line weights to work and failing. As I said in my previous post, there probably is another way around it, but that worked for me. If I ever come across another way that I know works, I'll be sure to share.

You should be able to go to Settings: Line Weights to reset your lineweights in every scale to something closer to what you use in CAD. Then use the Settings: Line Styles to create new line styles (depending on which version you're using, you can set different line styles for your model, annotation, and 3D views). What I did for our office was create line styles corresponding with all of the lineweights I had adjusted (LW 1, LW2, LW3.... all the way to 16). That way, if I need to override the line (using the linework tool) I have all of my lineweights that we're used to from CAD. This was a little tedious the first time, but then you can either use it to create a new file template, or you can "transfer your project standards" between projects and thus only have to set it up once. If you have any other questions, please feel free to email me or post and I'll do my best to help. Best of luck, Ruth

Another thought here, and I need to advise I haven't tried this yet. I jsut happened across it while I was trying to find something else, is under file/import export settings/import lineweights DWG/DWF. Not sure it'll work in a family, but from what I've read it should get your lineweights in from your original CAD Title block.
