Explanation

Plot:
The Plot option uses the printer language hpgl2 and is mainly used for CAD large-format printers (plotters). This option is not active until the selected printer is configured with the function SET PLOTTER. Plans with pixel images can only be printed, not plotted.

Format detection:
This check box is only available in connection with plotting. If the check box is ticked, the current drawing format is used.

Options:

The same screen can also be accessed via the menu SETTINGS > COLOUR PROPERTIES. The print colour and line width of the individual pens can be modified.

Plan graphic:

If a large number of pixel images, colour gradient hatches or transparent hatches were used in the plan or such images and hatches were large, in the menu SETTINGS > OPTIONS the option Print in highest quality must be activated.
