    Default Line thickness - want 5 or 6pt

    Hi there,
    There's a huge difference between a 4pt and 8pt line thickness - I want to use 5 or 6pt - is there any way of achieving this in P&LD11? It doesn't allow you to type in a value in the line gallery box.
    Many thanks,
    LGF

    Hi LGF, that's strange, may even be a bug. You can alter the value within the Set Line Width window but I agree trying to do the same in the Line Gallery is a real dogs dinner.

    Thanks Egg - never even noticed the line width window before! - is strange that it doesn't work in the Line Gallery

    If you regularly use/need line widths not available by default, you can customise what sizes appear in the line width dropdown list by using XaReg (the utility programme that provides access to specific Xara registry keys).

    I should have added to my previous post, I also think that's a bug too, in XPGD (not being able to type in a line width size in the Line gallery).

    seems broken in designer pro 12 too - not sure it hasn't always been this way.....
