this is what I've ended up doing to "get back" to where I was prior to the new shadow "feature" in 10:
pen 41 is my shadow pen, as Link suggested, truth be known
actually built into my template
, and then using the 50% fill pattern. I have now actually created a shadow fill, around a 35% fill,
obviously you can adjust color of pens and fill density to taste
seems to be working pretty well so far.....I find the % fills give a cleaner result than fills with lines or patterns, in my world here anyway. I might add that syncing your plotter-printer is crucial for satisfactory
printed results......as you can see very different appearances from the elevation view window to PDF results, and yet again to the printer, probably should've taken a digital photo of printed output...........
yet another work-around, but once your set up it’s all good
