How To Plot In Monochrome?
How To Plot In Monochrome?
(OP)
Hi all,
I am using AutoCAD LT 2004. An outside vendor has sent me a drawing that I want to print out in monochrome. I went to 'Page Setup'--> 'Plot Style Table' and set the plot style to "monochrome.stb". When I do a plot preview the preview is still in color and the resultant plot is in grayscale, resulting in some graphics and text that is too light to read.
Can someone help me fix this so that I can plot my drawings in true monochrome?
Thanks!

RE: How To Plot In Monochrome?
In regular autocad you can type "CONVERTPSTYLES" at the command line and that will turn the drawing back to monochrome.ctb which will then plot in monchrome.
If that does not work in Autocad LT, take a drawing which you know does plot in monchrome and edit paste the offending drawing into it and save the whole mess as a new name. Plot the new drawing. It should stay in monochrome.ctb and plot in black and white.
Hope this helps

Adrain2... I tried the 'convertpstyles' command and lo and behold that did the trick. Many thanks!
