PDF printing in WF5 - line width???

Just upgraded from WF4 to WF5 M060 and spent the morning putting all our configs right.

However the PDF export function (which we like to use) has not only been buried inconveniently in the 'Publish' tab opposed to having its own icon, it's also outputting anything on the 'Geometry' layer as a line that's too thick!

Bascially all geometry and drawing border lines are too bold. It never used to be like this. Everything else (dimensions, notes, hatching etc.) is fine. Try as I might, I simply can't find an option in the conifg.pro to adjust this.

Have a feeling I'm going to have to set up a pen table to get round this. Haven't a clue how to do this, however!

Can anyone help me, or is there a simpler way to adjust this pen setting?

TIA

Phil

Thanks Vladimir, worked perfectly, thanks!

Vladimir,

your pentable contains definition of 9 pens.

I think that ProE is able to use 4 pens (when use_8_plotter_pens is set to NO) or 8 pens (when use_8_plotter_pens is set to NO). Am I right ?
