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%

in the plot style editor you can change various items of the 255 colors in your particular pen set up. below you can see a typical set up of some of the items you can change in this view. I could not get a screen shot of all
I have explzined. If you czn not quite see heads or tails let me know aat : msplcdykee69@yahoo.com
email me anytime I will get oyou back a picture of what it should look like.   hipe ths helps.
