Exiting AutoCAD Land Development Desktop

Key Concepts

■

A plot style, a new object property, can change the way a plotted

drawing looks. By modifying an object’s plot style, you can override

that object’s color, linetype, and lineweight. You can use plot styles

if you need to plot the same drawing in different ways.

■

Plot settings are now saved in the drawing. After you establish the

settings, you can plot using the same settings the next time you

open the drawing.

■

The Layout configuration is affected by the following plot settings:

paper size, printable area, plot area, plot scale, and plot offset. If

you modify the plot settings from the Plot dialog box, the layout

paper image reflects the new plot settings after your drawing has

been plotted.

For more information, use to look up “Layout and

Plotting Guide” and “Fast Track to Plotting Your First Drawing”

in the online Help.

Key Concepts

■

When you exit a drawing, you are prompted to save any surfaces

that you have edited but not yet saved.

■

To allow multi-user read/write access to the point database and the

alignment database, the point and alignment information is

written directly to the databases, so they never need to be saved.
