Set Options for Plotted Objects
In the Print and the Page Setup dialog boxes, you can choose from options
that affect how objects are plotted.
Shaded Viewport Plotting. Specifies shaded plotting options: As
Displayed, Wireframe, or Hidden. The effect of this setting is reflected in
the plot preview, but not in the layout.
Plot Object Lineweights. Specifies that lineweights assigned to objects
and layers are plotted.
Plot Transparency. Specifies that transparency levels applied to objects
and layers are plotted. Plot Transparency applies to wireframe and hidden
plots only. Other visual styles, such as Realistic, Conceptual, or Shaded
will always plot with transparency.
IMPORTANT This setting can be overridden by the
PLOTTRANSPARENCYOVERRIDE system variable.
Plot with Plot Styles. Specifies that the drawing is plotted using plot
styles. Selecting this option automatically plots lineweights. If you do not
select this option, objects are plotted with their assigned properties and
not with the plot style overrides.
NOTE Plot styles are not available for objects with the Jitter edge modifier
applied (-VISUALSTYLES).
Plot Paper Space Last. Specifies that objects in model space are plotted
before those in paper space.
Hide Paperspace Objects. Specifies whether the Hide operation applies
to objects in the layout viewport. The effect of this setting is reflected in
the plot preview, but not in the layout.
Plot Stamp On. Turns on plot stamps and places a plot stamp on a
specified corner of each drawing and can add it to a log file. Plot stamp
settings are specified in the Plot Stamp dialog box, where you can specify
the information you want applied to the plot stamp, such as drawing name,
date and time, plot scale, and so on.
Use Plot Styles to Control Plotted Objects
You can control many aspects of how an object is plotted by using plot styles.
