Ross11 Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Hi can anyone tell me how to select Monochrome so I get my drawings printing in black in only? I can't seem to be able to select this function? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross11 Posted April 2, 2012 Author Share Posted April 2, 2012 Can anyone advise me on how to set line weights; it appears that no matter what size I set them too they come out at random thickness... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dana W Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 You will have to use a plot style. It's in the plot styles list in your page layout 'modify' tab. monochrome.ctb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DANIEL Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 you might be having issues because your using LT but since I don't use it myself I'm note sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dana W Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 may not be able to with lt What? Are you gonna make me guess? Hmmmmm. I suppose I am thinking within my own drawing style, at that. OK, then. I guess it is up to the OP to tell us whether or not layouts are being used, along with whatever other circumstances might be affecting the drawing.

BIGAL Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Lt supports same plotting as full. Hint PLOT open the pen tables on right side pick any table pick colour 1 holding "shift" scroll down pick color 256 make all white save as "mymono" set pen thicknesses etc but all will be black.

BIGAL Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 See your other post we plot by colour each colour is given a pen thickness within the range we want to use ISO 0.18 -> 0.7 Moderator maybe join this with other post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dddougal Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Its difficult to do with LT, I use LT and am constantly having problems with this type of thing. I usually get someone else in the office who has full Acad to do it for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually get someone else in the office who has full Acad to do it for me. AFAIK, LT has same plot abilities as Full. AutoCAD Tip - Plot in Black and White ala Monochrome Scroll to the bottom of the tutorial and the monochrome.ctb can be downloaded if you do not have it.
