Printing in Color

Hello,

A friend is working on a catalog for me in AutoCad. I don't know CAD very well. When she opens it, there are several tabs at the bottom. If she selects just one, it prints in color like it should. But when she selects more than one, it prints black and white. We have played with the settings but can't figure it out. It happens on 2 printers, so I don't think it is an issue with the print driver. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Peter

You can change each tab to have individual plot settings the easiest way is to chnge the other tabs to match the one that works. Got ot the tab you want just "Plot" pick the top menu bar on left side of plot window little pull down arrow it wil have a list of all your layout tabs pick the one that works say layout(1) then pick "apply" it resets the current one continue plot as normal save drawing etc this should work.

Another little trick if you click apply then cancel it remembers the plot settings for later use without actaully plotting.
