How do I set Datacad and Print A Plot Pro to cause different line colors and text colors to print with different line weights to a printer?
To set yellow as a narrow line, white as a medium line, lt. cyan as a heavy line and lt. green as an extra heavy line: Set Datacad as follows: select plotter turn “clrplt” on select “setpens” white = pen #1 yellow = pen #2 lt. cyan = pen #3 lt. green = pen #4 “snglpen” off “pensort” off Set PPP as follows select “set pens” pen #1 = .30 pen #2 = .20 pen #3 = .40 pen #4 = .60 (these settings may have to be varied, depending on the printer and upon exactly how wide you want your lines) make sure that the “*” is OFF for the pens for which you want to assign special weights.
