Small printing issue with dimensions, but can work around with svg export

Hello Forum,
and thank you Emmanuel Puybaret for the great software you coded.

I wanted to report a small issue when printing dimensions. The stop/end lines (don't know how to describe better) are a bit too thick in the print while they are displayed nicely in the plan.

This applies also to the Print to PDF function.

But the Plan SVG-Export worked wonderful with Inkscape. I just had to rescale/set the Objects pixel = cm and divide that by the scale for printing.

So there's no hurry, I just wanted to mention it.

Another proposal would be an option to limit the print area to the current selection. (This was greyed out in the windows print dialogue)

The line thickness at print time was already reduced in version 4.0. Did you try with that version or an older one?

Hi Puybaret,
thank you for the fast answer. (I am obviously slower ;-)

I am using version 4.1 in Windows 8/64.

Here's an example (with PDF, scale 1:100):

Hopefully you notice that the horizontal lines of i.e. measure "307" are thicker than the vertical line.
