plotting in microstation

[Barb Dylla-Labelle]

How do I set up my plot driver file to show pen width and color when using
the software option in my "current palette" menu on my 650c hp plotter?

It usually just needs to be turned on (View Attributes - Line Weights). You
will probably want to change the values in whatever plot config you are
using. Here is a sample.

;weights are in plotted mm, 0 thru 7 on line 1, 8 thru 15, 16 thru 23,
; and 24 thru 31
weight_strokes(mm)=(0.05, 0.125, 0.175, 0.225, 0.25, 0.425, 0.35, 0.40, \
0.475, 0.40, 0.55, 0.60, 0.675, 1.50, 0.975, 0.275, \
0.425, 2.15, 3.00, 0.35, 0.375, 0.50, 0.50, 1.50, \
0.75, 0.75, 1.45, 2.50, 0.375, 0.375, 0.40, 0.40)

Color can be determined by the current color table, and num_pens > 1
(num_pens=255). It can also be determined by pen records. Confused? Read
through the delivered examples (..\workspace\system\plotdrv\hpglrtl.plt).
