Changing thickness of a line drawn with Line Tool [in PS 2017.1.1]

Hi,

I am using Photoshop 2017.1.1 Release. I have been using the Line Tool to draw line segments. Sometimes I choose to put an Arrowhead at the Start or End of a line segment. I have not been using it for very long, but I am pretty sure I remember being able to change the thickness of my line segments by changing the value where I have circled in blue below...

... today, changing this value does not seem to have any effect that I can notice. If anyone can tell me what I am doing wrong, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks in advance,
Paul

Correct answer angie_taylor

You need to adjust the line weight value which is further along the control panel to the right :-)

hope this helps :-)

Hi

The stroke value impacts the width of the stroke around the "line" (shown blue below)

The Weight adjusts the line width (values of 50 and 100 shown below)
