Its in the lower-right corner of the dialog box, next to the Help button.

You receive no prize for guessing the metric equivalent of 1:10.

To find out the printable area of your own printer, move the mouse pointer to the postage-stamp-size partial preview in the middle of the Plot dialog box and pause.

A tooltip appears, listing the paper size and printable area for the printer and the paper size you selected.

This drawing doesnt contain text or dimensions, and you didnt make the hatch annotative, so you can click Continue to generate the plot.

You may be tempted to click Always Continue Under These Conditions, but its not recommended until youre more familiar with annotative objects.

Then AutoCAD displays a Plot and Publish Job Complete balloon notification from the right end of the status bar.

A link labeled Click to View Plot and Publish Details displays more information about the plot job.).

For many devices, you can program the pens width, fill pattern, end style, join style, and colorscreening from the front panel on the plotter.

Identified by their.ctb file extension, color-dependent plot-style tables map each of the 255 index colors.

Plot style names in color-dependent plot style tables are tied to object color and cannot be changed.

You must specify the overrides you want to apply after you create the new plot style.

You cannot add a new plot style to a color-dependent plot style table; a color-dependent plot style table has 255 plot styles mapped to color.

You also cannot add a plot style to a named plot style table that has a translation table.

You cannot delete a plot style from a named plot style table that has a translation table, or from a color-dependent plot style table.

The default setting for plot style color is Use Object Color.

If you assign a plot style color, the color overrides the objects color at plot time.

The color you specify is displayed in the plot style color list as Custom Color.

If the plot device does not support the color you specify, it plots the nearest available color or, in the case of monochrome devices, black.

A plotter uses dithering to approximate colors with dot patterns, giving the impression of plotting more colors than available in the AutoCAD Color Index (ACI).

If the plotter does not support dithering, the dithering setting is ignored.

When you turn off dithering, the program maps colors to the nearest color, resulting in a smaller range of colors when plotting.

If you clear Convert to Grayscale, the RGB values are used for object colors.

Dithering is available whether you use the objects color or assign a plot style color.

If you assign a plot style linetype, the linetype overrides the objects linetype at plot time.

Turn on Adaptive if complete linetype patterns are more important than correct linetype scaling.

You can specify the numeric value of each lineweight in millimeters.

If the lineweight you need does not exist in the list of lineweights stored in the plot style table, you can edit an existing lineweight.

You cannot add or delete lineweights from the list in the plot style table.

If plot style color is set to Use Object Color, or you are editing a plot style in a color-dependent plot style table, the value is set to Automatic.

The program determines the pen of the closest color to the object you are plotting using the information specified as part of the plotter.

Many non-pen plotters can simulate pen plotters using virtual pens.
