 ;FreeCAD LineGroup Definitions
-;Format: *GroupName,thin,graphic,thick,extra
-;thin: hidden lines
-;graphic: dimensions, centerlines
-;thick: visible lines
+;follows the specifications from DIN EN ISO 128-20
+;which defines 5 different base types of lines
+;in two different thicknesses:
+; * 01: full line, freehand line / zickzack line
+: * 02: dash line
+; * 04: dash-dot line
+; * 05: dash-dot-dot line
+; type .1: thin
+; type .2: thick
+;for example: 04.1 is a thin dash-dot line
+;
+;The size of the lines can be computed by this rule:
+;l = linegroup
+;thick = 1 * l
+;thin = 1/2 * l
+;graphic = 5/7 * l
+;extra = 2 * l
+;
+;Linegroup 0.50 and 0.70 shall be used preferable,
+;where 0.50 shall be used for A4 to A2 and
+;0.70 shall be used for A1 and A0
+;
+;FreeCAD applies these thicknesses:
+;thin: hidden lines, dimensions, centerlines
+;graphic: graphical symbols, text
+;thick: visible lines, section lines
 ;extra: not implemented
+;
