it is rounding up to .014.
You are talking about two different creatures here, not that AutoCAD makes |
that obvious. In your STB, you can create your own lineweights, and apply
them to a named Style. If you then put an object on a layer that uses the
PlotStyle set to .013" you will get a .013" line. Even if your force the
lineweight to something else in AutoCAD, because PlotStyle lineweight takes
precidence. Or, in AutoCAD you get a set list of lineweights to use, but
they only apply if you are using a PlotStyle that sets lineweight to Use
Object Lineweight.

to crash in a lisp routine I am building...

Never seen AutoCAD do this. Uness I am all wrong about the interaction
between STB and AutoCAD lineweights (or the lack thereof, as I believe) then
I would be looking for some other problem. Or are you saying your lisp is
trying to set a lineweight of .013? In which case I would expect AutoCAD to
round, as the .013" you set in the STB doesn't apply to the native AutoCAD
lineweight.
Anyway, clear as mud?
Best,
