Unlike traditional patterns and simple print widths, enhanced linetypes can draw stylized curves with both …

Hi Felix - [image] Felix Chameroy: Well I did look there, but can’t seem to find Linetypes as used in Mary Ann capture. Her statement applied to showing or hiding edges, isocurves, patterns, etc… You have to define the linetype in the Linetypes panel and apply a linetype to a layer or object…

Hi Michael - [image] Michael Vollrath: By default it seems (on my end) this value is set to 100 on a new document and I want it to be 1 by default. That is a document setting. A quick test of different factory-default templates shows that all of those have that setting set to 1. Perhaps you …
