    In V21 and back you could,I mainly used it for printing.
    I haven't found a way to do it in V22-(FKA 2007) on up , I am currently using V23

    No , There is not .. There is only an option in printing not for on-screen. You can submit a request to BobCAD for this feature...

    Thanks for the replies . My eyes aren't what they used to be so I'll just stick with the cad that I normally use .

    You could adjust your display resolution downward in Windows. That of course makes your window smaller, but it does thicken lines.

    Yeah, I'm right there with you. It's a ghetto hack, just thought I'd throw it out there.

    black line on the white screen helps , yellow on black may be good
