Color Plot problems

Hello to every one

I post earlier a problem with my ploting related to ctb files, lets

forget the ctb files, I believe the main problem is I cant use

any color on cad to diference the walls,,windows etc because

they plot in colors,is not matter if I use ctb stb or monochrome I just found this, in order to print black and white I have to draw all in white, now I erase all the program installed again and I still have the same situation,please if you have some ideas on how to fix this let me know.

Thank you.

Hope you are able to help with this info.

I have 2 ctb files set up, one for plotting in color and one for black and white, in the one set up for black and white simply set all the colors to black under the colors properties, you can also adjust your pen widths here as well, in order to get the colors you use for there different purposes to print the way you need them to based on how your printer handles the pens.

Well I just did it and same results if I use some color the color prints out

I really dont have idea what is the problem.

Thank you.

Are you using 3D solid objects?

No I dont use 3d at all

Thank you.

Are the colors each set to BLACK in the ctb file you are using?

And is your page setup set to print with that ctb file?

Yes I just check all the colors are set to black and the page setup is set to use

that ctb file, and still print on color.

Any other idea or maybe is not autocad the problem maybe is windows system?

Thank you.

Please post a drawing exhibiting this problem, or a portion of it. Also post your CTB file.

select all change them all to black in properties window before you print?

Yes It work that way I believe the problem is that for some reason windows Override autocad and print all in color by defaul, the and I dont know

how to set it up in a diferent way, and hapends on any printer, but your idea

works well I just before print have to do a extra step and make all white now

knowing this I just forget any ctb and make all my settings right there in the drawing.

Thank you.
