garycrampton Posted November 23, 2004 Share Posted November 23, 2004 I'm using Autocad 2002LT and I have two different drawings to plot. I'm on Windows XP operating system with a TechJet 5536 Plotter (don't laugh it's the only one available.) One drawing is my own work and one is from a supplier they have emailed to me. When producing a plot of my own drawing, I can easily plot monochrome, the plot style table (pen assignment) is set to monochrome.ctb. When producing a plot of the suppliers drawing, it will only plot colour even though the plot style table (pen assignment) is set to monochrome.stb. I can edit the monochrome.ctb colours if I wish to but I do not seem to be able to edit the colours of the monochrome.stb plot style. Any help you can give would be useful. Without other CAD Guys or Gals here I cannot bounce my problems off them as I'm the only one providing AutoCAD drawings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest vrichard Posted November 24, 2004 Share Posted November 24, 2004 Hi Gary, Maybe check your custom properties under plotter properties to make sure that it isn't set to colour? Cheers Vics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garycrampton Posted November 24, 2004 Author Share Posted November 24, 2004 After getting some information from another source I converted the drawing from using STB to using CTB by typing convertpstyles in the commandprompt line. This worked completely. I dare say I'll find another problem. Then I'll have to ask for more assistance again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IT saved me from searching & wasting my another hour Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
