Specifies custom properties for plotted DWFx files.
Vector and Gradient Resolution (Dots Per Inch)
Specifies the resolution (in dots per inch) for vector graphics and gradients for DWFx files. When you set a higher resolution, the file is more precise, but the file size is also larger.
When you create DWFx files intended for plotting, select a resolution to match the output of your plotter or printer. High resolutions (over 2,400 dpi) are for viewing. For example, when you create DWFx files of drawings that contain a lot of detail, such as a topographical map of a large region, these files use a higher resolution setting for greater detail in the DWFx file. Use extreme resolutions (over 40,000 dpi) only when necessary; they may produce very large files. As you increase the resolution setting, raster image quality increases, the speed of printing decreases, and memory requirements increase.
Sets the resolution for vector graphics in the DWFx file in dots per inch. The default setting is 1,200 dpi. Select Custom to enter a custom vector graphic resolution.
Specifies a custom resolution for vector graphics in the DWFx file in dots per inch. You must select Custom under Vector Resolution to specify a custom vector graphic resolution. The default setting is 40,000 dpi.
Sets the resolution for gradients in the DWFx file in dots per inch. The default setting is 200 dpi. Select Custom to enter a custom gradient resolution. This setting cannot exceed the current vector resolution setting.
Specifies a custom resolution for gradients in the DWFx file in dots per inch. You must select Custom under Gradient Resolution to specify a custom gradient resolution. The default setting is 200 dpi. This setting cannot exceed the current vector resolution setting.
Raster Image Resolution (Dots Per Inch)
Specifies the resolution (in dots per inch) for raster images for DWFx files. When you set a higher resolution, the file is more precise, but the file size is also larger.

As you increase the resolution setting, raster image quality increases, the speed of printing decreases, and memory requirements increase.
Color and Grayscale Resolution
Sets the resolution for raster image colors and grayscale in the DWFx file in dots per inch. The default setting is 200 dpi. Select Custom to enter a custom color and grayscale resolution. This setting cannot exceed the current vector resolution setting.
Specifies a custom resolution for color raster images in the DWFx file in dots per inch. You must select Custom under Color and Grayscale Resolution to specify a custom color resolution. This setting cannot exceed the current vector resolution setting.
Sets the resolution for black and white raster images in the DWFx file in dots per inch. The default setting is 400 dpi. Select Custom to enter a custom black and white resolution. This setting cannot exceed the current vector resolution setting.
Custom Black and White Resolution
Specifies a custom resolution for black and white raster images for the DWFx file in dots per inch. You must select Custom under Black and White Resolution to specify a custom black and white resolution. This setting cannot exceed the current vector resolution setting.
