This has confused me many times because I think and want it to be stroke path but its not.

What you actually want in Photoshop with the Line tool is Weight.



However, once a Line is created in Photoshop it acts as a Rectangular Shape so the Weight can no longer be changed by adjusting the numeric value.

Now, Stroke Width will in fact apply a Stroke around the Line, because again a Line in Photoshop is basically a Rectangular Shape. This is a 40px WEIGHT line with a 3pt stroke around it:

I think the problem you have is that your lines are set to stroke 'inside' so no matter what the pt weight you wont see a result. You need to click the line style next to the pt weight > then more options > then where it says align, set to center or outside. Hope that helps.
