The following tutorial is a basic introduction on how to set up for multiple screened colors at different settings for lighter to darker color screening. They range from very simple, like a one layer wall poche, to very complex with multiple layers, and multiple screened color settings. There are many ways to set up and use screened colors in your projects. Setting up to use screened colors is very easy using Plot Styles. This gives the solid fill a gray color rather than solid black, and lets the wall lines still stand out. If you set a color to 70% screening, this gives it 70% of it’s normal darkness, or lightens it by 30%.Ī simple example is to poche walls in floorplan drawings with a screened color. All color settings in the plot styles are defaulted to a screening setting of 100%, which means, no screening. You control the amount of screening by giving a plotted color a screening percentage. Giving the floorplan layers a screened setting will lighten those layers to a lighter gray color, then the HVAC layers will stand out as solid black lines above the floorplan. The basic idea of using screened colors is to get some feature of your drawing to have less of a visual impact by lightening it’s plotted/printed output.įor instance, you’ve just finished an HVAC layout, and you want the HVAC layers to stand out above the floorplan layers. When you need one set of objects to stand out from another set of objects in a monochrome plot, screening colors works great. There are many reasons for using screened (gray tone) colors in your AutoCAD drawings.
