Currently the Line Width label shows 0.5mm increments, which is much to coarse for a typical formal line drawing. For good appearance only very few Line Widths should be mixed; similar to a good document, where a plethora of fonts should not be combined. This can be avoided by having only a few well chosen named settings: Suggested good Named Line Width settings: thin - 0.25mm - auxilary lines, hatchings, etc. normal - 0.35mm - 1pt - connecting lines, details fat - 0.5mm - Outlines, Symbols, Handwriting, etc. ultrafat - 0.7mm - simple outline sketches with little detail settable and selectable with pen-width selector label. The above would enforce good drawing practice and ease good looking formal drawing. They are spaced by a factor of approx. 1.4 (sqrt 2), so that the drawings almost always look well under almost any scale. Usually only 3 of the above would be used, a thinner set for detailed drawings, the thicker set for rough sketches with only a few lines and little detail.
