Drawing File and PDF

The Help files, Fundementals module, has some explanation of pen table files and alternatively, how to ensure that Pro/e uses system colors to determine plotted line weights. I'm sure this information is communicated to the postscript file and then to the PDF translation.

BTW, if you get it figured out, could you post the solution here?

I only tried to create a xxxx.pnt file with the following line.

pen 3 drawing_color

It works ! The thickness of the lines is right for printing. Thanks Pier

If you want set the same width to all entities, you can change the thickness for all the pens
