Depending on the capabilities
of your configured plotter, you can modify the plotter's color depth,
resolution, or dithering and specify whether the output is color
or monochrome for vector drawings.
When printing raster images on a plotter with
limited memory, you can specify some image-quality trade-offs to
improve performance. If you use a nonsystem plotter that supports
varying amounts of installed RAM, you can provide AutoCAD with
that information to improve performance.
To specify graphics settings
- From the File menu, choose Plotter Manager.
- Double-click the plotter configuration
(PC3) file whose pen settings you want to change.
- In the Plotter Configuration Editor,
choose the Device and Document Settings tab.
- Double-click Graphics to view the graphical
output settings.
- Do one of the following:
- Select Installed Memory and enter the
amount of memory available in the plotter.
- Select Vector Graphics and select color
depth, resolution, and dithering.
- Select Raster Graphics and specify a
balance between output quality and performance.
- Select TrueType Text and select the way
you want to print TrueType text.
- Select Merge control and specify whether
crossing lines should overwrite the lines beneath them or merge.
- When finished, choose OK.
