Hello all, I am currently using a DGN layer in Pro and adjusting symbology to it. In symbology, the line widths are in meters. I cannot estimate the line width properly as the map scale is in points. How to fix this? Should I change the scale to meters? Do I need to change the coordinate system into projected systems?

Hi @kavereeGIS 

Can you try this workflow to see if it helps?

In ArcGIS Pro:

  1. Open Symbology for the DGN layer

  2. Go to the Properties tab

  3. Expand Layers → select the line symbol layer

  4. Find Line Width

  5. Change Units from Meters to Points (or Pixels)

This forces ArcGIS Pro to draw the line with a constant screen width, which matches what you expect at any map scale.
