Assign Pen Numbers and Virtual Pens in Plot Style Tables
The pen assignments used by the plotter differ depending on whether you
use a pen plotter or another kind of printer, such as a laser printer.
Assign Pens to Plot Styles
The Use Assigned Pen Number setting in the Plot Style Table Editor specifies
which physical pen to use for each plot style. The physical pens in the plotter
are described in the plotter's configuration (PC3) file. If you use a pen plotter,
you must provide information about the color, speed, and width of each pen
in the Physical Pen Configuration section of the Plotter Configuration Editor.
For example, when you specify pen information in the Plotter Configuration
Editor, you might specify that pen #1 is black and 0.010 inches and pen #2 is
red and 0.020 inches. In the Plot Style Table Editor you can assign pen #1 to
the plot style called WATER PIPES and pen #2 to the plot style called SEWER
PIPES.
You can assign a pen to a plot style by selecting from a range of 32 pen
numbers in the Use Assigned Pen Number field. The default value is 1. If plot
style color is set to Use Object Color, or if you are editing a plot style in a
color-dependent plot style table, you cannot change the assigned pen number.
If you specify 0, the field is updated to read Automatic. The information you
provided under Physical Pen Characteristics in the Plotter Configuration Editor
is used to select the pen closest in color to the color of the object you are
plotting.
