PO - Display boxes help

In PO, tools, define print styles, on the Display tab the boxes have 3 choices:

solid, empty and check

what is the different between the 3?

thanks!

  • If checked, that means the attribute option is turned on.

    If there is a solid filled in block the attribute is, As set in file.

    If blank solid the option is turned off.

  • The file that you are printing. Think of it as an Attributes override. You could have Construction lines displayed in your drawing as you are viewing it on the screen. Instead of turning them off on screen and then printing, you can just have Construction lines set to not plot in the print attributes. That way you do not accidentally plot the construction lines.

  • The checkboxes apply to the print (dgn file, or model) being processed. These are the same as the Print Attributes in the regular Print dialog, which allow you to override the file's view attributes.

    Since PO processes multiple dgn's and/or models it gives you the options to:

    • force the attribute to be off in every file being processed (unchecked state),
    • force the attribute to be on in every file being processed (checked state)
    • use the attribute as set in the View Attributes for the file being processed (solid filled state).
