Problem with changing plot style

[t0m34]

Hi,

I have 3D model which was prepared by someone else. I work on AutoCAD 2013. Problem is when I change plot style for example in monochrome it doesn't change colours in layout, the same thing when I change colours in viewports, they remain as they are defined in layers. 

Does anyone know what can block changing colours?

Thanks

CTB or STB plot style tables? a DWG file can't be both, and they don't work the same way either.

In the model space tab, command PLOT and change pen tables there.
You will be prompted to apply this change to all layouts? Yes.
Then, Apply button, and cancel.

I'm making the assumption "doesn't change colors in layout" is what you see when you preview the plot.

1. CTB plot style tables.

2. Yes. "doesn't change colors in layout" is what I see on preview 

I noticed one more thing, when I changed plot style it works for objects which I added on layouts (dimensions, text) but it doesn't work for things in viewports.

is the existing material in the drawing by Entity or Bylayer?    run the SETBYLAYER command if the former...

Once  you start using visual styles you must control them through VISUALSTYLES manager.  Once you get the properties the way you like for a particular visual style you will want to drag and drop that onto a tool palette so you will always have it ready to apply again.  The changes will not be held in the VISUALSTYLES manager from session to session.

Edge settings will be a good place to start experimenting with the color changes inside the VISUALSTYLES manager.

I have found answer. Viewport's shade plot was set 'As Displayed' and I changed it for 'Legacy hidden'.
