Phantom line print size

Hi all,

I want to change the scale of the lines printed when a component is displayed using PhantomOpaque or PhantomTrnsp. So far I haven't been able to find how or even if it is possible. The object displays on the screen correctly but for some reason the lines are scaled up when the object is printed out.

Thanks in advance

The config.pro was set use_software_linefonts yes. I think that the problem may have something to do with scaling the drawing to fit an A3 size sheet from the original B1 size, but the lines not scaling, but I am only guessing.
Any other ideas??
 
OK here is the answer
set the following option in the drawing DTL file:

line_style_length phantomfont 4

where 4 is the length of the line segments required (whatever number you like). Seems to work for me
