Line Width

The Line Width option controls the thickness of lines, arrows, edges of a drawn object (rectangles, circles, rounded rectangles, polygons) as well as text borders.

The Line Width Selections will appear in different locations on the PlotShop display depending on which Mode (Fixed or Floating) has been selected from the Main Menu's View, Toolbars selection.

The Selection Panels shown in this section are from the Floating Mode option. The Panels using the Fixed Mode option will appear on the left-hand side in a column underneath the Attributes Toolbar. The arrow selections in the panel allow for scrolling up or down.
