Set Options for Plotted Objects

Concept

Procedure

Quick Reference

In the Plot and the Page Setup dialog boxes, you can choose from options that affect how objects are plotted.

Shaded Viewport Plotting. Specifies shaded plotting options: As Displayed, Wireframe, or Hidden. The effect of this setting is reflected in the plot preview, but not in the layout.
Plot Object Lineweights. Specifies that lineweights assigned to objects and layers are plotted.
Plot with Plot Styles. Specifies that the drawing is plotted using plot styles. Selecting this option automatically plots lineweights. If you do not select this option, objects are plotted with their assigned properties and not with the plot style overrides.

NotePlot styles are not available for objects with the Jitter edge modifier applied (VISUALSTYLES).
Plot Paper Space Last. Specifies that objects in model space are plotted before those in paper space.
Hide Paperspace Objects. Specifies whether the Hide operation applies to objects in the paper space viewport. This option is available only from a layout tab. The effect of this setting is reflected in the plot preview, but not in the layout.
Plot Stamp On. Turns on plot stamping and places a plot stamp on a specified corner of each drawing and/or logs it to a file. Plot stamp settings are specified in the Plot Stamp dialog box, where you can specify the information you want applied to the plot stamp, such as drawing name, date and time, plot scale, and so on. To open the Plot Stamp dialog box, select Plot Stamp On in the Plot dialog box, and then click the Plot Stamp Settings button.
Save Changes to Layout. Saves changes you make in the Plot dialog box to the layout if you click OK.
