How can I scale also the values of line width in this MWE? 

\documentclass[tikz,border=5mm]{standalone}
\begin{document}
\tikzset{
    mytest/.pic = {
      \draw[blue, line width=0.5cm](0,0)--(90:1.5)--(60:2.5)--(30:3.0); 
      \draw[white, line width=0.4cm,shorten >=1pt,shorten <=1pt](0,0)--(90:1.5)--(60:2.5)--(30:3.0);
    }
}
\begin{tikzpicture}
  \pic at (0cm,0cm){mytest};
  \pic [scale=5] at (5cm,0cm){mytest};
  %HELP GRID LINES: 
  \draw[very thin, gray!20,step=1cm] (current bounding box.south west) grid (current bounding box.north east);
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}

  • You are hard-coding the line widths and other distances. What do you expect? –  Mar 27 '18 at 14:09
  • @marmot Do you have another option? (the distances are scaled correctly) – Arianna Angeletti Mar 27 '18 at 14:15

    I have not really thought about this, but one way that will work is to use line widths which are a multiple of a macro \mylinewidth, which you could adjust. –  Mar 27 '18 at 14:19
