    Ah, it appears I am an idiot. Sorry guys. I checked the most recent print out and the house outlines and numbers are actually there. You have to get really close to see them and even then they're barely visible. My boss couldn't even see them. Yeah, didn't mean to waste your time. I appreciate it.

    I'm getting mtext to plot white, but polylines are plotting black regardless of whether I choose the 255 white or 7 while. I'm using acad.ctb. Any idea why?

    I assume you are using the acad.ctb because your drawing has some objects you want plotted in color. Is that correct?

    Since we rarely plot in color I default to plotting using the monochrome.ctb.

    If you specify a "Truecolor" in your Layer Properties Manager for a layer color doesn't that override what is in the ctb?
