REVIT currently draws lines as if they were created using a round nibed pen. Most of the time, this is not a problem because, for typical drawings, we don't use pens over a #2. However, when you use a larger pen on title blocks or visual "boxes", you get this "crayon" end that really looks bad at both line ends and corners. This morning, I ran into a bigger problem. When you use a dashed line or dash dot with a large pen, the space between the segments gets filled by the radius of the pen. In other words - the distance between the line segments is fixed and measured from the center of the pen - not the clear distance between the segments. Our heavy lines look fine in a small scaled view but when drawn 1 to 1 they become a continuous blob line. Not good! AutoCAD lines are square ended and REVIT's lines should be square too. (BTW, the old split nibed pens were basically square - the round ended line look came about with the technical pens. )
