Re: Default Values for table.pnt?

$

The only information that I was able to find about the config.pro pen#_line_weight options stated that the line weight is equal to 0.005 inch line thickness:

 

The weight of a printed line is governed by its pen number. Correspondingly, the pen number of a line is governed by its color. As an example, the Hidden color (blue) is assigned to pen one. The line weight produced from a pen number can be modified with the configuration file option pen#_line_weight (where # is equal to the pen number). Each option can be set equal to a value ranging from 1 to 16. Each increment value equals a value of 0.005 inches. As an example, if pen1_line_weight is set to 2, the line weight will be equal to 0.010 inches (2 × .005 = .010).

Assuming the conversion is correct, then a default table.pnt that you could use with all black lines would be:

 

pen 1 thickness 0.020 in; color 0.0 0.0 0.0
pen 2 thickness 0.005 in; color 0.0 0.0 0.0
pen 3 thickness 0.010 in; color 0.0 0.0 0.0
pen 4 thickness 0.015 in; color 0.0 0.0 0.0
pen 5 thickness 0.010 in; color 0.0 0.0 0.0
pen 6 thickness 0.015 in; color 0.0 0.0 0.0
pen 7 thickness 0.005 in; color 0.0 0.0 0.0
pen 8 thickness 0.020 in; color 0.0 0.0 0.0

I put together the following information just for reference, hope that it might help someone else:
