A single item or one for each? Line weights are the devil

Unless this could be made to work when batch plotting multiple files from outside of the drawings this wouldn't help us. The project I am currently working on has more than 80 AEC files many of which have several sheets in them. So when we batch plot we are usually plotting some or all of the AEC files. So whatever is done needs to work without having to open each drawing file first.

[Printer]
Print Text=TRUE
Print Hatch=TRUE
Print Line Types=TRUE
Print Line Weight=TRUE
Print Associative Dimensions=TRUE
Print Fills=TRUE
Print Bitmaps=TRUE
Print KnockOuts=TRUE
Print Smart Wall Hatch=TRUE
Print Smart Wall Fill=TRUE
If any of these are blank or missing, the toggle's current status will be used.
Make sense?

That is the way these INI entries will work.
