"Apply Print scale to line width" - What is it intended to do?

Let's say you have a drawing intended for a scale of 1:100 on A2 format and you want to print it scaled down to 1:200 on an A4 sheet for a handy oversight. With "Apply Print scale to line width" you can scale down the line widths too accordingly. Otherwise the line widths would appear much too thick.

LibreCAD reads the intended original scale from Drawing Preferences - Dimensions - General Scale and compares this to the scale setting in Print Preview and calculates the according line widths for printing.
