Set Options for Plotted Objects
In the Plot and the Page Setup dialog boxes, you can choose from options
that affect how objects are plotted.
■ Plot Object Lineweights. Specifies that lineweights assigned to objects
and layers are plotted.
■ 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.
■ Plot Paper Space Last. Specifies that objects in model space plot before
those in paper space.
■ Shade Plot. Specifies shaded plotting options: As Displayed, Wireframe,
Hidden, or Rendered. The effect of this setting is reflected in the plot pre-
view, but not in the layout.
■ Hide Paperspace Objects. Specifies whether the Hide operation applies to
objects in the paper space viewport. This option is only available from a
layout tab. The effect of this setting is reflected in the plot preview, but not
in the layout.
