I looking to use the config option pen[n]_line_weight which has pens 1 to 8 for controlling line weight on laser printers
Can anyone tell me which screen colour each pen is assigned to before I start on the long winded process of finding out through substitution?
Cheers, Sean
The information you need is in the Help on Fundementals under Menus>File>Printing. Lots of good stuff there, including a chart on color and color name to use in the table.pnt file, how to set up a PCF file and changing line styles.

I've use table files etc. in the past but these aren't applicable to laser printers.
It seems that the pens are assigned to drawing entities rather than colours for these config options
Pen1 is solid edges Pen2 is dimensions Pen3 is hidden line
