Pen Color test
This drawing is designed to demonstrate how each of the 255 colors
available in AutoCAD print and look. When you print this page in grey-scale
or black & white, ultimatly run that through a blueprint machine, you
will see how each color is represented. For instance yellow hardly, if
at all at ashows up when printed in black & white or grey-scale.
My plotter settings file used in this test has a simular thickness for
each diferent pen colors. All of the odd numbers consitantly show up lighter
than the evan ones. Color 7 automaticly switches between black and white
within AutoCAD depending upon the backround color.
I have attempted to create a drawing
settings list that discribes what AutoCAD screen color, output color,
pen # pen width and purpos discription. I have tried to asign a black or
dark backround color set. along with a white or light backround color set
of defanition;s. Many of the companies I have worked with use the color
yellow liberly within their drawings. On screen the color is obvious and
works well. Yet when it comes down to printing outside of AutoCAD it is
miserable!
Pen Weignt test
In this drawing I put a pen thickness test in the upper right corner.
Each line has a thickness discription and a plooyline with a said width.
I use the black (pen 7) assignment to all of these paticular linewith test.
I do not wis thro the pen settings to determan the width of each test.
so I came up with my best idea to keep the test pure. pen weignt
(line thickness). each color is a signed a diferent thicknes of pen. I
have learned frome this that when printing to a desktop printer (8.5" x
11" piece of paper) the asigned pen weight must be four times smaller or
X(0.25").
I use a plotter setting file of _____ to plot the test.
The heart of this test is to see how each AutoCAD
color is represented in grey-scale, black & white and out of the blueprint
machine. |
