Pen Weight

Use this pop-up menu to set and edit the current pen weight from a list of 22 different values, expressed in millimeters. 

To change an item’s weight, select it and choose the new weight from the menu. 

• Because of the resolution of the screen (72 dpi), pen weights cannot be displayed on screen exactly as they look on printouts; when the Actual (print size) Pen Weights mode is on, HighDesign displays the different pens on screen with an approximation to their real print size. When the Bitmap mode is active, pen weights are displayed with a simple progressive pixel size. 
• To change the way pen weights are displayed on screen, open the HighDesign Preferences window, select the Drawing pane and choose one of the three options available for pen weights or click the button on the lower right hand side of the main window. 
• In printouts with low quality paper, pen weights may be a bit different from those chosen on the menu. The optimal print resolution is 600 dpi on high quality paper.
