Layers in Drawing Environment

I'm wondering why I'm not seeing the line style and line thickness shown for my layers.  I select a part and assign it to a layer...the color changes, but the other attributes do not.

I have to right click the part and select "Component Line Font" in order to [visibly] change the line style and thickness.  Interestingly when I convert the file to a .dwg, the line type and thickness will be shown (in AutoCAD) without having to open "Component Line Font" (after I change everything to "by layer").

  

Am I missing something?
