Hello,

 

I have some Building Options set to FADE. However, when I print they are way too light. Any way to adjust the amount of fade that is applied?  I export to a PDF and then print from the PDF. I'm printing on a HP DesignJet T120. 

Thanks!

solved.

I found a previous post from Keith A. using pens. Set it up and it works great.

 

However, if there is a way to adjust the fade I would sure like to know.

An adjustable fade control like Autocad would be great.

I AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH INTER ELEVATION THE LINES ARE VERY LIGHT IS THERE A WAY TO DARKING THEM UP

[Jeremy Plum]

not exactly sure what you mean by inter. but if it is and entity like a box or board end you need to adjust both the outline and the texture. adjust in the edit box for the entity.

INTERIOR ELEVATION IN VISIBLE LINE MODE I WOULD LIKE TO DARKEN THEM UP

[Keith Almond]

Ron, you should be able to change the line to BLACK and thicken them up in MODE OPTIONS.

Using pen weights may be the best option. Then set a layer to that pen weight instead of fade. I have section drawings and overlay drawings set with the typical layers all adjusted for pen weights so the things I commonly want lighter and darker are all set. I save that section as a "master" drawing and then copy and paste the created section into that drawing. Sometimes I have to adjust because something doesn't look right or a new drawing item creates a layer I haven't had before, but mostly it just works. It takes a bit to set up initially, but works well for the limitations we have.

That is a very good idea Mark!
