I tried searching but didn't have much luck. 

 

I need my electrical symbols to have a heavier pen setting. Or a way to make the walls appear lighter on the electrical plan.

 

Our electricians are missing lights, especially cans, when they are placed over plumbing fixtures like sinks in bathrooms or the kitchen. It's just hard to see them on the prints. 

 

I always batch export to a PDF if that makes a difference...

 

Thanks in advance - JD

Jon,

Go into your "system options", and/ or "drawing options" and click on "pen setup" (which is listed under "drawing defaults). Set the pens to whatever color and pen thickness you want. You have control over both those items.

They are already set to 1 - 0.30 setting, which I'm assuming is the darkest setting? It won't let me create a custom thickness will it... ?
