Plotting Question
Plotting Question
(OP)
I am trying to plot my drawing out with only one componet in color (RED) and everything elese in B/W. My assemby is in multiple colors. Is there a way I can plot my drawing as desired without changing all my componets to white except for the one I want red to red?

Note that you can follow this same procedure when creating PDF or CGM files as well.

RE: Plotting Question
Plotting by line width works ok, but it would be preferable to asign color by layer similar to AutoCad. I can't seem to get it to work, can you give suggestions?
RE: Plotting Question
There have been numerous ERs filed for that and they never get enough votes to make it to the top 10 list.
The only way you can assign colors by layer is to change all components/entities on a layer to your color or set work layer/color and create entities. Then when you plot, you can plot by coor and assign the proper pen to a screen color, All colors plot to black, except green plots to green, etc. This way you can have multiple colored items while the rest of the plot is black.
