It might be simpler for them to redo a version of the library using the old pens.
Matthew wrote:Well, maybe. But to make that work to solve the issue about library part's default settings, that requires that we first agree on what the globally named parameters are and how they apply. Not a trivial task either. While I think my standard pen table is the best in the world, my old age and long experience has taught me that only a few others agree....
In the long run (version 11???) it would be much better for pens to be defined as globally named parameters (these could still be mapped to the existing pen numbers). This way the user/manager can set all the standard pens by their application/function and pen setting will only be of concern in exceptional cases.

The globals defined by GS would only be a starting point which could be expanded with user defined global pen assignments. This would of course require that starting set to be reasonably complete and sensible for most purposes (thisMatthew wrote:Well, maybe.
