AutoCAD/AutoCad 2007 Plotting

Question
J.B.,

I appreciate your response to my plotting question but I think I need to rephrase and clarify myself. You suggested I go to the Plot Style Table Dialogue Box and change my style settings. That is exactly what we did with our 2002 version. However this style option selection does not appear on our 2007 dialogue box. I guess my question is can you assist me to turn this option on in my dialogue box so I can make the style selection. In version 2002 we were selecting "monochrome". That option presently is not available to me in our 2007 version as it was in 2002. Hopefully this clarifies my needs to resolve my problem. I thank you for your assistance with your quick response.

Have A Great Day!!!

In 2007, under the 'Plot' dialog box, you should have this circular icon w/ greater than symbol inside (located bottom right or right beside the Help button), click on this icon & it should expand the dialog box for you leaving you more options. Notice on the top right should be your Plot Style Table. Fly out your options to create new pen assignments or click on the Pen icon to edit/customize using the Plot Style Table Editor. Hope this helps, let me know!

...Additionally, you can also access various items under 'Options' command & select 'Plot and Publish' tab. Here you'll find 'Plot Style Table Settings' button & you can select your default plot style table. Furthermore, you can click on 'Add or Edit Plot Style Tables..' button to take you to the repository folder for the ctb/stb files & copy/edit the files.
