■
Area Fill Correction: Enables the program to compensate for pen widths
when plotting filled areas and wide polylines. Each polygon is shrunk
by half of the width of the pen used to draw it. This option prevents the
plotter from oversizing the filled area when using a wide pen and ensures
precision. Use this option if the plot must be accurate to half the pen
width, such as in printed circuit artwork.
■
Pen Optimization Level: Reduces plot time and increases the efficiency of
the pens by optimizing the pen motion. For example, you can prevent
pens from retracing duplicate lines. If your drawing uses many colors or
widths, you can reduce the time needed to change pens by selecting Adds
Pen Sorting. Every object that uses a particular pen will be plotted before
switching to another pen. Each method in the list includes the
optimization methods preceding it in the list (except for No
Optimization).
Physical Pen Characteristics
To plot your drawing correctly on a pen plotter, you need to provide
information about the pens in your plotter. For each pen in your plotter,
specify a color and width. To optimize pen performance, you can specify a
speed.
NOTE This information is required; the physical pen information cannot be
detected automatically.
■
Color: Specifies the colors of the pens in your plotter. The pen color that
closely matches the object’s color is selected. You can assign colors to
your pens that correspond to each object’s color. Use the Color list to
select one of the following settings: No Pen, Red, Yellow, Green, Cyan,
Blue, Magenta, Black, or Other. If you choose Other, the Select Color
dialog box is displayed, providing access to the full color palette. Use No
Pen to indicate that there is no pen in a particular position.
■
Speed: Adjusts pen speed on a pen-by-pen basis. This feature is useful, for
example, for slowing down pens that are skipping. Each pen manufacturer
recommends a pen speed for each type of media. For best results, use
those values. You can specify a pen speed in millimeters or inches per
second.
■
Width: Specifies the width of your pens so the program can determine
if multiple pen strokes are needed to draw wide lines. You can specify
the pen width in inches or millimeters. Be sure to select the pen width
to match the actual width of the pen. The list provides a set of common
pen widths.
