How do I configure WinLINE for pen plotters to use three black pens each of different width?
You could use two different types of carousel definitions in this case to achieve two different kinds of result. In the first case, let us assume that you care only that your output is rendered in black using the most efficient pen width for each entity. In this case, assign each of the three black pens in the WinLINE carousel with the color black. WinLINE will automatically use the pen of the closest thickness to each line in your drawing. Note that if you assign the usage of thin pens to Outline only they will not be used for fills. In the second case, let us assume that you want specific lines in your drawing to be rendered using specific choices from your set of three black pens. In this case, assign a unique color to each black pen in WinLINE’s carousel definition dialog e.g. Pen #1 – Blue Pen #2 – Red Pen #3 – Green When you have defined your carousel this way, lines which have a screen color of blue will be drawn with (black) pen number 1; lines which have a screen color of red
