  Re: Line Thickness
 
(...) Oh, I agree totally. (except do you mean anti aliasing? I'd call it "thicker lines") The images are very nice indeed. My issue is that I can't get a clean rendering of every step in every submodel of an MPD without jumping through some severe (...) (24 years ago, 26-Dec-00, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.mlcad)

Then you scale down the resulting image. Here are a couple of (...) (24 years ago, 25-Dec-00, to lugnet.cad.mlcad, lugnet.cad)
