Cables not shown thickened view

Help.


I will attach an illustration but I am working on a drawing and the previous drawing shows the cables thickened in the drawing view (see illustration, example A). However, now I bring the drawing up and the cables are very small diameter (see illustration B). You can't see it very well, but in my example B the cable lines are are not centerlines, they have a diameter, but they are very small diameter.


Why are the cables shown with such a small diameter in the drawing? By the way, the assembly model shows them thick, it's just the drawing view that shows them thin. And, by the way, I'm not a cable guy. (using WF 2.0)

Thanks, Yeah. I had done that before and thought that would fix it. However, when I select "thick" in the properties it doesn't change the view. When I select "centerline" itdisplays the cable's defining points. When I change it back to "thick" it shows a small diameter routed cable. I checked another post on the forum about this and added "display_thick_cablesyes" to my config.pro but that didn't help either. Any other suggestions? - befuddled
 
edit the spool for those cables, increase the diameter of the spool and regenerate


to see which spool it is cut from


In cabling mode


Modify>parameters select the cables and hit enter


in the table you will see the spools they are cut from.


spools>edit>select the spool increase the diameter


regenerate
