GW – Set Global Width of All Polylines (Free AutoCAD LISP)
11th August 2026

GW — one global width for every polyline in the drawing, blocks included
Drawings imported from GIS and other software often arrive with fat, uneven polyline widths that make them unreadable. GW sets one global width on every polyline in the drawing — including polylines inside blocks and nested blocks, which manual editing can’t reach.
Type the width (0 is the classic clean-up value) and the whole drawing is done in one go.
