Many plotters provide multiple pens, programmable linetypes, and programmable pen speeds. For such plotters, you may choose a pen number, linetype, and pen speed to use for all 255 AutoCAD LT drawing colors. You may establish permanent settings or change them when you begin a plot.
For some plotters, you can change the pen width. If your plotter supports configurable pen widths, you can set them in the Pen Width column of the Pen Assignments dialog box. For most plotters, the default is 0.010 inch or 0.254 millimeter.
You can change the pen widths individually for each AutoCAD LT color, or you can change a group of them at once. If your plots are too dark or too low in resolution, or if the dimension arrowheads look odd, the pen width setting may be too wide.
The drawing chroma.dwg in the sample directory contains a grid of color swatches representing 255 colors. It is recommended that you plot chroma.dwg to see the colors your plotter assigned to the AutoCAD LT colors.
