are editing a plot style in a color-dependent plot style table, the value is set
to Automatic.
If you specify 0, the field updates to read Automatic. The program determines
the pen of the closest color to the object you are plotting using the information
you provided under Physical Pen Characteristics in the Plotter Configuration
Editor.
Virtual Pen Number
Specifies a virtual pen number between 1 and 255. Many non-pen plotters
can simulate pen plotters using virtual pens. For many devices, you can
program the pen's width, fill pattern, end style, join style, and color/screening
from the front panel on the plotter.
Enter 0 or Automatic to specify that the program should make the virtual pen
assignment from the AutoCAD Color Index.
The virtual pen setting in a plot style is used only by non-pen plotters and
only if they are configured for virtual pens. If this is the case, all the other
style settings are ignored and only the virtual pen is used. If a non-pen plotter
is not configured for virtual pens, then the virtual and physical pen
information in the plot style is ignored and all the other settings are used.
You can configure your non-pen plotter for virtual pens under Vector Graphics
on the Device and Document Settings tab in the PC3 Editor. Under Color
Depth, select 255 Virtual Pens.
Screening
Specifies a color intensity setting that determines the amount of ink placed
on the paper while plotting. Selecting 0 reduces the color to white. Selecting
100 displays the color at its full intensity. The Enable Dithering option must
be selected for screening.
Linetype
Displays a list with a sample and a description of each linetype. If you assign
a plot style linetype, the linetype overrides the object's linetype at plot time.
Adaptive Adjustment
Adjusts the scale of the linetype to complete the linetype pattern.
If you do not select Adaptive Adjustment, the line might end in the middle
of a pattern. Turn off Adaptive Adjustment if linetype scale is important. Turn
on Adaptive Adjustment if complete linetype patterns are more important
than correct linetype scaling.
