Thickening lines
Ok, so this seems like it should have an easy answer, yet about an hour of failed attempts and reading through the whole manual I still haven't found a solution. I have created borders to divide several of the kingdoms on my map, but the line thickness doesn't show up well at scale. I was hoping there was a simple way to thicken lines, but have had no luck. Anyone have any suggestions for how to do this or is this another one of those simple functions that ProFantasy somehow just neglected to add?

I'm not sure how to fix the issue you have, without redrawing the line. Maybe change the line style to "solid" if there is something that causes this anomaly.
Line Width is different. It's measured in map units, not mm. For overland maps, map units are typically miles or kilometers. For dungeon and city maps, map units are typically feet or meters. So, even though the border is not painted on the ground (it isn't, is it?) you'll want to set the Line width value to something visible on the map when it is completely zoomed out and showing the entire map. So, maybe start with a Line Width between 2 and 5 and then adjust. You'll probably want to experiment with different values to see what looks best to you.
I recommend you set the Pen Thickness of your border back to 0.000 mm, and then change the Line Width as described below.
Try this:
- Click the Change Properties button
on the left.
- Select the borders you want to adjust.
- Right-click and select Do It from the pop-up menu.
- Check the box next to Line width, change the value in the Line width field, and then click OK.
to see the changes.
I hope that helps.The command line at the bottom changes to read, Select entities (0 picked)
The command line changes to indicate how many borders you selected.
The Change properties dialog displays.
The width of the borders you selected changes to the new value. You may have to click Redraw
