When you print the drawing with a grayscale printer / plotter, the system will automatically map the colors with the pen allocated. There are 8 pens allocated in Pro|ENGINEER. You can customize the pen weight thru the config.pro configuration command. The weight is a range from 1 (thinnest) to 16 (thickest).<?:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:eek:ffice:eek:ffice" />
