Is there anyway to create an Annotation Line Weight that is less then 0.0030”
We have some small Arial text that is printing just a little blocky at that width.
If we try to enter a number less then .003 we get the message to enter a value greater than .003 inches.

Is there anyway around this, is there any hope?

Otherwise if we chance the font to a thinner font, all is well.

Thanks in advance,
Dan

Annotation lineweight has nothing to do with True Type Fonts. TTF print only the way the font was designed and is not affected by any of the lineweight settings. You'll need to select a different font that is a lighter style. I'd suggest Swiss721 LtBt as a good companion to Arial.

The lineweight setting you are refering to is used for associated leaders.
