Lines in True weight. Rounded tip? or squared?

Anonymous
Not applicable
I have this problem when drawing details and I print them they don't look very good because the tips of the lines are rounded on their ends (visible on the screen aswell when you zoom in the tip of a line in trueweight mode). Is there a way to draw with lines that have squared tips?

Thanks,
Lukas

This article posted by Graphisoft mentions round ends and square ends to lines.

It seems to me from reading it, round end are (or were) more intensive to generate.

I mentioned there that I thought square ends would be preferable, but nobody seems to have picked up on this article.

Probably because it is in the article section and not the forum section.
