PEN SETTINGS
Pen settings
You can change the pen settings on two levels. On the one
hand in the "Defaults" area of the "Extended defaults " tab and
on the other in the "Entry" area on the "Additional" tab. The set-
tings in the "Defaults" area are basic settings, for which the fol-
lowing must always be noted:
Note : Changes to the basic settings always only refer
to new entries that have been added. Existing entries
already in the job retain their settings.
You can only change pen settings if the entry has either a
HPGL/2 or Calcomp file format. There are three tabs each for
both file formats, on which you can change the settings. These
are the "Pens", "Colors" and "General" tabs.
In the "Defaults" settings you must use the separate "Calcomp
settings" and "HPGL settings" buttons, because a job can contain
several drawings with different formats.
If you alter the settings for an entry, RW-480 PLOTCLIENT WIN
immediately identifies the format and automatically opens the
respective HPGL or Calcomp tabs via the "Pen settings" button.
View the changes
RW-480 PLOTCLIENT WIN provides you with an additional
function, which allows you to look at the changes to the pen
sizes and some of the pen colors before printing in the preview
file, if changes have been made to a certain entry. To do this,
proceed as follows:
1. Activate the view using the "View – Preview file" menu item.
2. Mark an entry in the entry list.
3. In the job editor change to the "Additional" tab and open
the "pen settings".
4. Make your changes.
5. Now change to the "General" tab and activate the pen
