    Default Shade Plot

    Is there a way to lock "Shade plot"? I set shade plot to legacy hidden to plot, but it soon changes back to "as displayed". I usually don't notice and have to plot again after I fix it.
    It's not that big of a problem, but would be nice to not have to keep changing it.
    Thanks for your help

    Default Re: Shade Plot

    If you are plotting from paper space, each viewport can have different Shade plots set on their properties.
    If not, (i.e in model space) prior to plotting, click "Apply to Layout" so that the current setting will be the default printing setup.

    Default Re: Shade Plot

    I plot from ps and there is one vp. I set the desired shade plot and plot, a few minutes later (10-15) I go and plot again and it has reverted back to "as displayed".
    Another drafter has suggested it might be because we auto saveas an earlier version (2007). So every time the drawing autosaves it reverts back to "as displayed"
