of the current plotting device. This option is available if you select Custom

the order in which objects are plotted.

system variable)
Plot Object Lineweights
Specifies whether lineweights assigned to objects and layers are plotted. This
option is unavailable if Plot with Plot Styles is selected.
Plot Transparency
Specifies whether object transparency is plotted. This option should only be
used when plotting drawings with transparent objects.
IMPORTANT For perfomance reasons, plotting transparency is disabled by default.
To plot transparent objects, check the Plot Transparency option. This setting can
be overridden by the PLOTTRANSPARENCYOVERRIDE on page 1617 system variable.
By default, the system variable honors the setting in the Page Setup and the Plot
dialog boxes.
