PEN SETTINGS

•  Pen Source

If you activate the “File“ field, you instruct the plotter to use the
pen width information in the entry’s SSL file when plotting and
not the settings from the “Pens“ tab. If no pen widths are de-
fined, the program uses your settings.
If you activate “User“ your settings are always used

•  Pen Scale

Activate this field if the pen widths are to be scaled at the same
time as a drawing is scaled. To avoid the possible loss of infor-
mation when printed ensure that have set at least one minimum
pen width if the drawing is to be reduced in size and at least one
maximum pen width, if the drawing is to be enlarged by scaling.

•  Ignore pen widths

Activate this option, e.g. if a drawing is exactly the same size as
a ISO A4 sheet, to guarantee that it is plotted on an A4 sheet
and not on the next larger format because the pen widths were
too large causing the drawing to slightly exceed the A4 format,
thereby causing unnecessary waste paper.
In this way, you can ensure that a drawing that has exactly the
same size as a standard format is printed on this size paper
thereby avoiding an unnecessary waste of paper.
