Note If you are going to make changes to the DWF6 ePlot.pc3 file, make a
backup copy of the file first in case you want to use the default settings later.
These settings may change file size and plot quality, depending on the con-
tent of the source drawing for the DWF file. You can specify the following
settings when you edit the DWF6 ePlot.pc3 configuration file.
■ Color depth
■ Display resolution
■ Compression options
■ Inclusion and handling of fonts
■ Background color
■ Virtual pen settings and patterns
■ Inclusion of layer information
■ Inclusion of a paper boundary
■ Inclusion of a saved preview
Note DWF files intended for plotting should be configured with a white back-
ground color. If the AutoCAD background color is set to black, color 7 objects
will be plotted as white. For all other background colors, color 7 objects will be
plotted as black.
