■ Line thickness

This setting is used to adjust the line width of vector graphics. For example, if you desire a finer line, select a value
from 0 to 4. If you desire a thicker line, select a value from 6 to 9. To return to the standard line thickness, select 5.
Use this setting for special applications such as CAD when lines do not appear with sufficient clarity. For regular
applications, there is usually no need to change the setting.

Default setting: 5

The relation between the setting values and the change of line thickness are as follows.
