printing line darkness

when changing from wf1 to wf2



when printing the lines of the model in the drawing are very very faint

they look fine in the drawing files





if it matters the line leaders from dimensions are about the same thickness as the model lines in the print out



basically

anyone know how to make the model lines in the printouts become "thicker/darker"
 
We had the reverse problem in wildfire in that the model lines printed too dark. There's a config.pro option to set each pen numbered 1 - 8 to different settings ranging from 1 as lightest to 16 as darkest. Pens relate to the different lines on the drawing. Model geometry is set to Pen 1 so try inputting config.pro option pen1_line_weight and setting value to between 1 and 16. Don't know what the default is in WF2 but in other versions pen 1 defaulted to line thickness of 4.
