  The Following modifications have been made to the
  Online Documentation column."The line thickness is
  not the same in Visualization and Print.For each
  line  thickness defined in mm in the standards of a
  drawing document or in default thickness
  parameters, a corresponding thickness in pixel is
  associated.When displayed on screen, the pixel
  defined width is used.When printed on paper, the
  mm defined width is used.When previewed before
  print, an alternate pixel thickness is used ,
  closer to the paper mm thickness than the usual
  display pixel thickness. This alternate pixel
  thickness is one pixel every 0.3 mm".
