--The thing is my eyes aren't all that great and, although the program makes a dandy template it's *really* hard for me to see the very fine line the program draws! Does anyone know how to rewrite the thing to make a bolder, or darker line?
If you are printing - in the print tool - use 4 pixels. I bet 1 is use.
As I see - it doesn't use that function. Some CAD tools do. I don't see it in the basic print tool either.
Hum. Maybe print it to a file - then print from there...

I found that the "reading glasses" from the drug store worked wonders for closeup work for aging eyes. I had cataract surgary on me right eye recently and had the implant set for a focus of about 9" (they won't garrenty the distance). Now I work in the shop and on the computer mostly without glasses.

First, if you are making a paper template, cut along the line with scissors, and then wrap the template around the pipe, and spray bomb it to mark the pipe.
Second, for template work, I find a cheap Cad program usually works a bit better than winmiter, but it takes a bit longer. Ten minutes, instead of two... but you can usually set the line thickness when you go to plot.
Maybe scan it and darken the line...

Wayne, OT: Which cheap CAD program? I.e., I should break down and just get one and learn it up but which one would be recommended? (We're not talking high level engineering here.) David
--It's that first step that's the toughy; can't see the line to cut it!
--Recommendations appreciated; and how do you get the one program to work within the other one?
Depending on your printer you can adjust the ink volume to high and get a darker line.
