4 In the Plotter Configuration Editor, on the Device and Document Settings
tab, expand the Graphics node in the tree window.
5 Click Vector Graphics.
6 In the Color Depth area, select the color depth you want, and then click
OK.
7 In the Changes to a Printer Configuration dialog box, do one of the fol-
lowing, and then click OK:
■ Select Apply Changes for the Current Plot Only to specify a one-time
override of the configuration settings that isn’t saved to the DWF con-
figuration file.
■ Select Save Changes to the Following File to save the configuration
changes to the DWF configuration file.
8 In the Plot dialog box, in the Location list, specify a plotting location for
the DWF file, and then click OK.

Set the DWF File Resolution
You can specify the pixel resolution for vector and raster graphics of the
DWF6 files that you create. The higher the resolution, the greater its preci-
sion but the larger the file size. The default setting is 400 dpi for both vector
and raster resolutions.
When you create DWF files intended for plotting, select a resolution to
match the ouput of your plotter or printer. High resolutions (over 2400 dpi)
are for viewing. For example, when you create DWF files of drawings that
contain a lot of detail, such as a map of a large topographical region, use a
higher resolution setting for greater detail in the DWF file. Extreme resolu-
tions (over 40,000 dpi) may produce very large files and should be used only
when necessary. As you increase the resolution setting, raster image quality
increases, the speed of printing decreases, and memory requirements
increase.
As an example of the difference between DWF resolution settings, consider a
map of the world that you want to output as a DWF file for viewing. With a
medium resolution setting, you might be able to zoom to a level of detail
approximately the size of the state of California on the world map. With a
high resolution setting, you might be able to zoom to a level of detail the size
of a city. With an extreme resolution setting, you might be able to zoom to a
level of detail the size of a building.
