I'm having some difficulty at home here on converting my DWG to PDF format.

 

I'm currently doing the following...

 

1/ drawing a rectangle to act as the paper size, in this case, A4 (297mm x 210mm)

2/ Creating a viewpoint and getting the floorplan on the page.

3/ Going to File-Print-Plot

4/ Setting the Printer/Plotter to "DWG to PDF.pc3"

5/ Changing the paper size to ISO A4 297mm x 210mm

6/ Clicking "Window" for plot area and selecting my area.

7/ At the moment I'm just scalling it "fit to paper"

 

Then when I click on preview, it comes up with all the lines in their respective layer colours. Where as I want them to come up in black/greyscale but the lineweights differ from layer to layer.

 

Am I missing something here? How do I overcome this issue?

 

I am using AutoCAD 2010

In PlotStyle chouse "Monocrome.ctb" - this way will get all entities printed as black.
