Bill Tillman Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 I have a drawing provided to my by an Architect so it has every kind of layer an AIA client would put into it. I seem to be having trouble getting the print outs that I want. I need everything to be black and I have selected the layer a certain line is on and set it's color to green (3). When I print the layout tab I use a CTB file which is supposed to print green lines to black, but they are still coming out as green in the print preview and PDF files I create.

ReMark Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Maybe TrueColors were assigned rather than Index Colors? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyberAngel Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Just to cover all the bases, have you checked these green items to make sure their color is set to ByLayer and not overridden? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkmcswain Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 What @ReMark said. Truecolors are not affected by plot styles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGAL Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Look at posts above 1st but a quick dirty while you find the proper answer if it is ctb related open up a copy of a CTB you can select every pen using hold down shift, then set colours to black.

welldriller Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 or you could try setting your printer/plotter to GRAYSCALE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkent Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Post a small sample of the lines giving the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
