SLW210 Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 Did you check the color per the viewport? Can you post the .dwg file? See THIS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tombu Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 If it wasn't caused by viewport overrides open the Page Setup assigned to that layout. Is "Display plot styles" checked? You'll need to check out the referenced plot style table. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLW210 Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 They look white here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steven-g Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 Your shackels are set to color by layer, and layer 0 is color 255, where other objects are color 'white' color white is recognized by AutoCAD and will flip to black on a white background any other colors will retain their value Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ammobake Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 another reason i always like to use black background personally only use color 255 for masking and even then in just very specific scenarios. -ChriS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
