    Default Plot Transparency

    is there a variable to make the "Plot Transparency" box default to be checked?

    Default Re: Plot Transparency

    Setting the PLOTTRANSPARENCYOVERRIDE (System Variable) to 2 will ignore that box and plot transparent anyway although it's not recommended since it creates huge plot file sizes.

    Value Description
    0 Does not plot object transparency
    1 Uses the setting specified in the Page Setup or the Plot dialog boxes
    2 Plots object transparency

    Setting the PLOTTRANSPARENCYOVERRIDE system variable to 0 or 2 overrides the Plot Transparency option in the Page Setup or the Plot dialog boxes.

    Note: Because this system variable can affect global plot performance, it is strongly advised that you leave the value set to 1 and manage plot transparency when plotting.

    using named pagesetups is the simplest way to manage plotting, including transparency
