Category in Advanced options dialog: Printing

Use this advanced option to specify the base line width for printed drawings. Enter the value in millimeters as a decimal value. The default value is 0.01. The final line thickness in a printed drawing is the base line width multiplied by the pen thickness from the Print drawings dialog (or in the old printing, from the Color dialog). For example, 25 will give a thickness of 0.25 mm.

Tip:

To control the accuracy of line thickness, use a small value for XS_BASE_LINE_WIDTH and a large number for the pen.

This advanced option also affects lines on the screen, if you set XS_BASE_LINE_WIDTH_AFFECTS_SCREEN to TRUE.

This advanced option is model specific and the setting is saved in the options database. Reopen the model to activate the new value.
