PAGESETUP
Controls the page layout, plotting device, paper size, and other settings for
each new layout.
PLOT
Outputs a drawing to a printer or file.
Set Shaded Viewport and Plot Options for a Layout
Shaded viewport and plot options settings affect how objects are plotted and
are saved in the page setup.
Shaded viewport and plot options affect how objects are plotted. The options
for shaded viewport plotting give you a large degree of flexibility in conveying
your three-dimensional designs to others. You can convey your design intent
by choosing how viewports are plotted and by specifying resolution levels.
Shaded Viewport Plotting Options
With shaded plotting options, you can choose whether to plot a set of shaded
objects using the As Displayed, Wireframe, Hidden, or Rendered option.
With shaded plotting options, you can choose whether to plot a set of shaded
objects using the As Displayed, Wireframe, or Hidden option.
Shaded viewport plotting options apply to all objects in viewports and model
space. If you use the Shaded or Rendered options, plot style tables included
in the page setup do not affect plots. If you use the Render option,
two-dimensional wireframe objects, such as lines, arcs, and text, are not plotted.
Shaded viewport plotting options apply to all objects in viewports and model
space. If you use the Shaded option, plot style tables included in the page
setup do not affect plots.
NOTE Shaded viewport plotting requires a raster-capable device. Most modern
plotters and printers are raster-capable devices.
