Adjust line thickness in Drawing mode

Hello all,

Is there an option to adjust the line thickness in Drawing mode? see example:

@jan_willem - Line thickness is determined by the drawing template.
The templates we supply are consistent with the standards specified (ANSI ISO etc).
If you want to override these standards, export the drawing template to any standalone 2D editor and make any changes you want prior to reimporting into Onshape

Here are detailed instructions - https://cad.onshape.com/help/Content/templates-custom.htm

philip_thomas - Creating a new template was not necessary. Scale 1:3 set to 1:1.

Result: On the screen still a fairly thick line. Export to PDF; Line thickness fine when opened in Acrobat Reader.

@jan_willem - Exactly, increase the ratio of the size of the part to the (fixed) line weight.
Well done.
