AutoCAD Plot style tables contain several settings that are not self-explanatory or fully described in Help.

Solution:

AutoCAD® and AutoCAD LT® have several new plot properties. In earlier releases, you could use the HPCONFIG, XESCONFIG, CCONFIG, or OCECONFIG commands to control most of these properties. The common plot properties from these commands were incorporated into plot style tables in AutoCAD and AutoCAD LT, which can support all devices using a single plot style table.

Following is a list of the settings contained in plot style tables and their functions.

  • Color. Determines the plot color of objects that use the selected drawing color. For example, to plot a red line in red, set the color property for style Color I (red) to Use Object Color. To plot a red line black, set the color property for style Color I (red) to Black.
  • Dither. Approximates a color by making dot patterns with one of the device's supported colors. Dithering is typically used if the plot device does not support the color you want to plot. For example, to send a color plot to a monochrome device where each color is distinguished in a different shade of gray, enable the dithering setting so the plot device creates dot patterns for each color.
    Note: Dithering is automatically turned on if you set a color screening value of 99 or less.
  • Grayscale. Plots objects using the selected AutoCAD color as a shade of gray instead of a color. For example, yellow is plotted as light gray; blue is plotted as dark gray.
  • Pen Number. This setting is used for pen plotters only, and it determines the pen number used to plot objects of the selected drawing color.
    Note: When plotting to a pen plotter all other plot style table properties are ignored.
  • Virtual Pen. The virtual pen number determines the virtual pen number used to plot objects of the selected drawing color. To use virtual pens, perform these steps:
  1. Set up the virtual pens on the plotter device.
  2. Edit the plotter PC3 file. In the Plotter Configuration Editor, select the Device and Document Settings tab > Graphics > select Vector Graphics > Color Depth and then select 255 Virtual pens.
  3. Set the virtual pen number property for each color in the drawing in the plot style table.
    Note: When plotting to a plotter using virtual pens, all other plot style table properties are ignored.
  • Screening. Determines the color intensity of objects that use the selected drawing color when plotted. If you specify 0, the color is reduced to white, and if you specify 100, the color is displayed at full intensity. Color screening requires dithering be turned on, therefore, dithering is automatically enabled if a color screening value of 99 or less is specified.
  • Linetype. Determines the plotted linetype of objects that use the selected drawing color. The default is Use Object Linetype, which plots objects using the object's own linetype. If you select a linetype, that linetype will override the linetypes specified in the drawing for the selected drawing color.
  • Adaptive. Adjusts the size of the linetype pattern so that line objects contain complete patterns. This affects only linetypes set in a plot style table.
  • Lineweight. Determines the plotted lineweight of objects that use the selected drawing color. Lineweights set in a plot style table override object lineweights set in a drawing. The lineweights listed in a plot style table can be displayed in either millimeters or inches. Additionally, custom lineweight values can be added. These settings are controlled using the Edit Lineweights button.

Autocad Electrical Plot Settings

Description

Paper space and plotting using AutoCAD software applications can be overwhelming and frustrating. Paper space is often misunderstood and plotting is not necessarily the most intuitive task. This class will work through the process of setting up a drawing for plotter output using paper space layouts. You will learn about viewport scaling and viewport property overrides, as well as how to effectively use Page Setups to easily change plot settings.

Key Learnings

  • Learn how to set up a layout with multiple viewports
  • Learn how to modify scale factors and properties of individual viewports
  • Learn how to add a page setup and plot output device
  • Troubleshoot tips and tricks
