That's not quite what I found - setting the scale to either 50% or 200% the text still has the same line thickness (8mil). At 400% the thickness has increased to 16mil, but the text is huge by this point. I think this is because the minimum width is 8mil, and the "800" in the SymbolLine[] actually means 4mil. > In the latest HID pcb, I added code to automatically grow the > thickness of symbol lines to meet the DRC minSilk parameter.
