paper. The height or width of the drawing is fit to the corresponding height
or width of the paper.
When you plot a perspective view from model space, the view is scaled to fit
the paper even when you enter a scale.
When you select the Fit to Paper option, the text boxes change to reflect the
ratio of plotted units to drawing units. This scale is updated whenever you
change the paper size, plotter, plot origin, orientation, or size of the plotted
area in the Print dialog box.
NOTE This option is not available when the What to Print is set to Layout.
Set Shaded Viewport Options
You can choose among several options for plotting shaded and rendered
viewports. You can plot a viewport as it is displayed, in wireframe, with hidden
lines removed, or as rendered.
Overview of Shaded Viewport Plotting
The options for shaded viewport plotting provide flexibility in presenting
your 3D designs to others.
With shaded plotting options, you can choose whether to plot a set of shaded
objects as displayed or in wireframe, hidden mode, a visual style, or rendered.
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.
NOTE Shaded viewport plotting requires a raster-capable device. Most modern
plotters and printers are raster-capable devices.
Specify Shaded Plotting Settings
If you are plotting a drawing that contains 3D solids that are shaded, you can
control how the drawing is plotted.
