Plotting lines all the same width

Question? I want to plot a drawing so that all lines show the same thickness. I know by default that ProE plots line thickness according to the line color. I want to have phanton, dashed, dotted lines in different colors on the screen but when I print them I want them to all be the same width,thickness, etc.


I don't want them to print "bold-dark" & "leader-light" I want them all to be consistant.


thanks

You need to set some config options.
USE_8_PLOTTER_PENS YES
PEN1_LINE_WEIGHT 2
PEN2_LINE_WEIGHT 2
PEN3_LINE_WEIGHT 2
PEN4_LINE_WEIGHT 2
PEN5_LINE_WEIGHT 3
PEN6_LINE_WEIGHT 2
PEN7_LINE_WEIGHT 2
PEN8_LINE_WEIGHT 2


Try using a value of 2 but you can adjust thicker of thinner.
Look in ProHELP for descriptions of each pen number.
