From your screen shot it appears that you are working with views from your Project Map. If you want to your settings to be saved with the view you are working on you should be working from your View Map instead. There you can save views with pen settings, scale, layer combinations, etc.

Hi,
Thanks.
I know that I can do with View Map.
However, I would like to find out what went wrong with my .MOD: it turns into BLACK lines after saving although the pen set is still the same. Each time I need to switch to another penset and switch back again to my preferred penset.

When I work with .PLN file, it is ok.
Does anyone know the problem and solution to it (within project map)

cheers

This is a known bug when creating modules. Just click on the open the Pen attributes
Options>Element Attributes>Pens
and the pen set will revert to the correct pen set.
