AutoCAD - AutoCad 2007 Plotting


Expert: <font color=#6b238e>J. </font><font color=#ff7f00>B. </font><font color=#0000ff>Borge</font> - 11/27/2007

Question
I have been using AutoCad 2002 but recently upgraded to 2007. However now I am unable to plot with dark lines. Everything prints out in grayscale. I'm certain there is a setting somewhere but I have been unable to locate it. We are plotting "bylayer" but it appears the settings that AutoCad wants to use are to plot "bycolor". Can you PLEASE tell me how I can change my settings. Any assistance you can give me would be greatly appreciated.

Many Thanks!!!

Frank

Answer
Frank,

Under the 'Plot' dialog, try using a different Plot Style Table (pen assignments), or create/modify your own *.ctb or *.stb. These parameters dictate the color, lineweight, etc. of your plots. Hope this points you to the right direction.

-J.B.
