 +======Faint Lines in Printing======
 +
 +=====Question=====
 +
 +When I print to the printer or plotter my lines are very faint.  How do I assign print widths to my Rhino model? 
 +
 +=====Answer=====
 +
 +  * **Print widths** are available for 2-D objects like curves (line, circles, arc, freeform), hatch, text and dimensions.
 +  * **Print widths** are __not__ available for 3-D objects like surfaces and polysurface.
 +In Rhino, you can assign print widths in three ways:
 +
 +1. Assign the **print width** to the layer.
 +{{:plot_wieght01.png?600|}}
 +
 +2. Assign the **print width** to the object property.
 +{{:plot_wieght02.png?600|}}
 +
 +3. Assign the default **print width** in the print dialog.
 +{{:rhino:plot_wieght03.png?600|}}
 +
 +To view your **print width** before printing, use the PrintDisplay command, and set the State to **ON**.
 +
 +  Command: PrintDisplay
 +  Print Display (Model Viewports) ( State=Off  Color=Print  Thickness=40 ): State
 +  State <Off> ( On  Off  Toggle ): ON
 +
 +You can also toggle this from the right click menu.
