Plotting turns entities WHITE

[Squirltech]

Everyone,

I haven't seen this one before. I have a co-worker that when he plots, the command makes certain entities WHITE in color and plots them as WHITE even though the entities are a different color.

Also, when opening this single drawing, it will make those same entities WHITE and a REGEN won't restore them.

The drawing is a clean drawing with an EXTERNAL REFERENCE of a titleblock and the drawing was created with a TEMPLATE. The drawing that is next to this drawing, in succession, looks fine and has no issues. He's going to try and WBLOCK everything into a clean drawing and he'll let me know what happens.

If I can get him to answer his phone, I'll get the drawing and I'll post it. I'd really like to figure this one out. Thanks in advance.

Update: He just emailed me to say, "I copied everything into a clean copy of the template and all appears to be good. Who knows what happened but I am back to normal now. Thanks for your help."

 

I'd still like to know if anyone else has came across this and how it was "fixed". Thanks!

The only time I ever experienced something like that was when a co-worker set a layer to color 255, instead of the auto-reversing "white" color. It looked fine in (black background) modelspace, but "Hey, where is the furniture? I can't see the furniture in paperspace."
