   Hi all

New poster.

Have been using ACAD for about 4 years now, but until my current job, haven't had much exposure to colour etc.

The practice where I now work has had a number of staff, and each has had their own idea of what the ideal Plot Style is. Consequently, we have approx 20 styles, each slightly different.

I have found a couple of styles that seem to work for me, but there is a key difference.

One plot style prints everything in very vivid/strong colours. The other plot style will print the same colours, but a lot more subtle.

The question is: how do I manage the intensity when plotting? We are currently using ACAD 2007

	In the Plot Style Table Editor change the screening to 10 or 20%
