Control Plot Style

I want to plot cross sections where the minor horizontal and vertical lines are screened back. I've set their color to 9 and in the plot style 9 is screened back 50%, but the lines are still plotting as full level! I went into the Section View Style and found that the plot styles for everything is set to "By Block" and I can NOT change that setting. Any idea why? I can change everything else: color, layer, linetype etc., but not the Plot Style.

You might need to refer to your page setup and make sure "plot transparency" is enabled.  Beyond that, we would need to look at your section style to comment on the colours / layers etc.

You can't edit the plot style because your drawing is color based, meaning, you plot based on color, not style.  CTB vs STB.

 

The 50% setting is for color 9 in your current CTB file?  and you're plotting/plot preview is using that CTB file?

Do you have "Dither" and "Grayscale" turned on for color 9 in the plot style?
