[arriscad] Assigning multiple penmaps to a Viewport

[Gary Thill]

    What happens is you send the plot to PDF? Do the half tone line 
weights show up correctly there?
    If they are incorrect in the PDF then it's not your OCE. There's 
still something goofy setting in the sheet
    and/or viewport.
