lionkingleo Posted September 12, 2011 Posted September 12, 2011 I am having a problem plotting drawings as JPEGs. I have used the Page setup manager to select the JPEG plotter and I want to plot only in black and white. Previewing the plotted jpeg looks fine but when I then import the jpeg into a document, line elements appear in grayscale and it appears that only soem polylines appear as true black. Any suggestions ?? Quote
SLW210 Posted September 12, 2011 Posted September 12, 2011 What are you using to import the document? Are you using the Monochrome.ctb or the Grayscale.ctb? Are you using STBs? Quote
CyberAngel Posted September 12, 2011 Posted September 12, 2011 Welcome to the forum! Is it possible that the gray lines are not orthogonal while the black ones are? Sometimes the dithering works that way. I'm not sure how to fix that, sorry. Quote
fuccaro Posted September 12, 2011 Posted September 12, 2011 A possible walk around: convert the image to black and white. If yellow lines are turned white, adjust the brightness/contrast first. Quote
lionkingleo Posted September 13, 2011 Author Posted September 13, 2011 I'm importing the image into Word as a jpeg. When plotting the image in Autocad, I'm using the monochrome ctb. Quote

lionkingleo Posted September 13, 2011 Author Posted September 13, 2011 I've alreadt tried to plot the image as black/white (monochrome) - this has no effect on the result Quote
SLW210 Posted September 14, 2011 Posted September 14, 2011 I cannot duplicate your problem. What version of Word are you using? Have you tried actually printing from Word? Sounds like it could be a display problem. Quote
eldon Posted September 14, 2011 Posted September 14, 2011 Have you tried exporting a WMF file to insert into Word? Quote

Sounds like it could be a display problem. I'm using Word 2007. If I preview the JPEG in Autocad, it appears correct with black lines where there should be black lines but when I import the JPEG into Word or view it in Picture manager, most of the lines appear a sif they are gray scale - or at least not true black.
