[solved] Thicken a Line on the Inside

Post by dickbob » Thu May 20, 2021 9:59 am

I have an architectural drawing with existing walls drawn with a thick pen at print time with some pipes very close to the surface. Because the pen draws down the centre of the vector the thickness of the pen paints over the pipes.

Can I get the pen thickness to be applied to the inside of the vector and thereby allow the pipes not to be overdrawn?

No. Pens are always centered around the actual geometry.
