Changing default lines and text

Hi,

I would like to change the default values for text and lines. How do I do that?

I almost always print my drawings as PDF and text and lines always end up to thick and in the wrong color. I want my text black in pdf but green on the screen. I want my geometry in one thickness and my dimension-lines in another. Is there any way?

Another question: when i print a drawing as pdf or export as dxf, round corners always end up as a simplification of straight lines? The outline doesn't seem to be one whole line as well. This means I have to connect all the small segments in Adobe Illustrator afterward. How do I avoid this?
 
I use this lines in config.pro and change line weight value, thickness changed in PDF file.
