When generating a plot file be sure to select the Repro Color set-up and then adjust your plotting parameters as normal (additional parameters, scale & sheet size).

If you are plotting EXTENTS, make sure that you perform a ZOOM EXTENTS prior to creating the .PLT file to ensure AutoCAD updates the extents and to double check for any stray lines that could affect your output.

CAUTION: The pens in a color plot must be set to the desired thickness, as we cannot modify their settings after the plot file is generated.

It is recommended to do a Full Preview in the Plot Window to verify the DWG size, placement on page and that the plot looks correct.
