I've been asked to plot drawings with certain lines in a different colour to the rest of the drawing i.e.: the "highlighted" line would be in red, and the rest of the drawing in black.

 

Is there a quick way to do this without having to change layer colours etc?

 

Thanks.

 

Edit!:

I think I've figured it out. I edited the "monochrome" plot settings so that certain colours are printed as shown in CAD.

You do know that you can override an object's color right?

I know now, I'd completely forgotten about it, though. In fact, I rarely think about colours (aside from layer differentiation) since everything I plot is b/w.

One way is to set up a plot style ctb file (using plot style table editor) with all colours set to black, and have colour 1 (Red) to print object colour (Red).

Then you should be able to accomplish your task. Good.

Yep, that's what I've ended up doing.

 

Thanks for the replies.
