WU - Select Unit for Pen Width
WU [ t ] [;]
t ; unit type
• This command specifies the pen width unit. It applies to all pens.
• t must be either 0 or 1.
• If t is 0 the pen width parameter which accompanies subsequent PW commands will be treated as a reading
in millimeters.
• If t is 1 the pen width parameter which accompanies subsequent PW commands will be treated as
percentage of the distance between the scaling points P1 and P2. The default width is 0.1% of the diagonal
distance from P1 to P2.
• The command sets all pen widths to a default of 0.35mm. Hence it should be used before the PW command.
• Using the command with no parameter defaults the type to 0 (metric) and all pen widths to 0.35mm.
• The unit type is not affected by a DF command.
