Plotting mono

[Rockford]

How do you plot in mono (black) from a Layout with several layers of various colors without having to creat a Plot Layer State?

I just go to the pen assignments box and click on Monochrome.ctb.

 

File> Plot> click on More options arrow (bottom right of dialogue box, this will make it wider)

Top Right is PlotStyle Table (Pen Assignments)

Select drop down box >Monochrome.ctb

 

Hope this helps, Rob.

Thanks Rob

 

Seems like I tried that using Monochrome.stb (using Named Plot Styles) and had this problem; the colored layers ploted in various shades of gray instead

of Black like I get when I create a Layer State in the Viewport to be plotted

and change the actual Layer Color to White/Black.

Never had that happen to me....Yet!

I'm using an HP Deskjet for most of my printing could it be a printer driver thing?

Any other ideas Cad maestro's?

Sorry am not more help. ( Just a thought, you didn't hit Greyscale by accident did you? Once hit a clients pen assignments and got some pretty pink lines. )

Thanks Rob

 

I would think it could be the driver but x-associate of mine did it once on the system I'm using now and it worked. Of course I forgot how he did it.
