I have this problem to print a line which is as thin as possible. How can I print as thin lines as I can for example with Autocad? Is it somehow impossible to produce very thin lines with Microstation?
In all the settings I have linewidth as "0". When I print it, it seems to be something like 0.25mm. (Needed is something like 0.08mm). I've tried to print without lineweights or with them, same result.
BUT, when I open the same file with Autocad, select the thinnest lineweight as possible, the result is as goog as I wanted.
Do I need some files to my Microstation directory, *.plt -files or something else?
Thank you!

Harri,
You will need to edit your plot configuration file (xxx.plt) to modify line weights. If you are sending to a plotter, I suggest that you make a copy of the hpgl2.plt file and edit that - it is an ascii file. Open the file and scroll to the section <weight_strokes> - Bentley sets the default 0 width to .25mm. You can change all of the weights to your specifications.
