Any useful tips how to pick up ******* thin lines that just won't pick
up.
There is Edit->Select all, or hold down shift and control with the
select tool, this draws a box, and anything inside the box is selected
on releasing the mouse button.
Thin lines are not desirable for serious printing - because a "thin"
line renders as one pixel wide on the destination device, and on a
decent printer that is going to be invisible.
If you can I would select all the lines - maybe use "Select all" then
deselect the items which are not lines. Then F7 - modify object and set
all the thickness for all the lines to non-thin in one fell swoop.
I seem to remember provoking a discussion about this a while back.
Should still be in the archives.
