Under Drafting > Legend, I do not see a Line Width entry.

It has:
-Outline Width
-Map Outline to Body
-Clearance...etc.

When you update your Preferences > Drafting > Legend > Line Width, it will use that setting for every part you create. 

There is no need for editing in the OrCAD PCB tool. 

If you need a webcast to help you set up your Preferences, please let us know and we'll set it up for you.

I can't seem to get my export to have the right Silkscreen formats.

I am setting my preferences in the Legend --> Drafting Options.

But I keep ending up with different results. 

Am I stuck setting the Silk text setup on the OrCad side after export?
