Lineweight
Got a problem with defining lineweight when building a new layer.For instance, to get weight of 0.25, you have to write 0.01To get weight of 0.40, you have to enter 0.016, and so on. There is a factor of 0.25 for getting the right value.I just upgraded to ver 7.1.0010, but never checked if this behaviour presisted in previous versions.

Off the top of my head it sounds like a metric/imperial problem - sure you haven't got something set to inches somewhere? 0.40mm is 0.016inches...

No. We work with metric units for years. Actually this is the only system we work with.

I'm curious, is the lineweight discrepency seen when printed or 'on screen' only? Is it possible under drawing settings/entity creations/polyline or trace width set at less than 1(say 0.25)?

I think the problem has to do with conversion of units. When you define a new layer, and try to enter line weight for that layer, let's say 0.09, you are prompted that the line weight will be rounded to 2.11 . To enter the wanted line weight, you have to calculate the "LW" by dividing the number by 25. For instance, if you want to get a "LW" of 0.25, You have to enter 0.01 So I guess that in the case of line weight the units is inches rather then mm, even if the prompt is telling you otherwise.
