Set Color, Screening, Grayscale, and Dither in Plot Style Tables
You can use a plot style to assign color, screening, grayscale, and dither
properties.
Assign Plot Style Colors
The default setting for plot style color is Use Object Color. With this setting,
the object retains its layer or individually set color. If you assign a plot style
color, the color overrides the object’s color at plot time. You can specify one
of 255 AutoCAD Color Index (ACI) colors, a true color, or a color book color.
The plotter must be configured for True Color if you want to plot True Color
plot styles.
Note If you use a plot style table saved in AutoCAD 2000 or later, the True
Color values change to the nearest match in the current AutoCAD version’s
palette.
Use Screening
You can select a color intensity setting that determines the amount of ink
AutoCAD places on the paper while plotting. The valid range is 0 through
100. Selecting 0 reduces the color to white. Selecting 100 displays the color
at its full intensity. Screening is only effective if your plotter is configured to
plot colors or grayscale. Also, dithering must be enabled.
