styles for the currently assigned plot style table.
Shaded Viewport Options
Specifies how shaded and rendered viewports are plotted and determines their
resolution level and dots per inch (dpi).
NOTE When hardware acceleration is disabled or is enabled, but does not support
Shadows, it is possible to plot a drawing that contains shaded viewports with
unsupported hardware effects by the graphics card through software emulation.
To enable the software emulation of hardware effects that are not supported by
your graphics card, enter 3dconfig, and click Manual Tune. In the Manual
Performance Tuning dialog box, click Emulate unsupported hardware effects in
software when plotting. The unsupported effects will not appear in the viewport
in real-time, but will appear in the hardcopy or electronic file that is created during
the plot process.
