Line thickness should also be addressed when creating a new drawing. The default line thickness is 0.00mm and results in a hairline on a printed page. General practices may vary by drawing type; technical, arcitectural, etc, and by drawing size; larger drawings utilize thicker lines. A variety of sources can be found on the internet by searching for "CAD standards". The following table provides suggested line widths for ISO A4/A3/A2 or ANSI A/B/C paper sizes:
