Screen Objects in Layout Viewports
Screening refers to applying less ink to an object when it is plotted. The object
appears dimmer on the screen and output to paper. Screening can be used to
help differentiate objects in a drawing without changing the objects' color
properties.
To assign a screening value to an object, you must assign a plot style to the
object, and then define the screening value in that plot style.
You can assign a screening value from 0 to 100. The default setting, 100, means
no screening is applied, and the object is displayed with normal ink intensity.
A screening value of 0 means the object contains no ink and is thus invisible
in that viewport.
