In my tests the print preview (paper space) seems to show the line weight properly. Not so in the drawing view (model space). To show the line weight (thickness) right in relation to the length the program has to suppose a certain scale the drawing will be printed. This seems not to be implemented in librecad yet. Does it use the scale momentarily set in the print preview? Or always 1:1? I do not understand it. In advanced cad programs you can set a scale in model space, this does not change the size of the objects but shows how some properties like lineweight or textsize will look in the intended scale.
As we don't have this yet in librecad it's best to ignore lineweight appearance in model space and look into the print preview to check.
