    All my drawing colors display as gray

    I ended my session yesterday, plotted my first layout, everything looks perfect.  I started up today and everything is gray.  Drawing layer colors are correct.  Everything looks ok in the properties pane when I select anything.  Print preview shows everything black.  Never had this happen before.  Solution?

    Is "Display Plot Styles" checked in the Page Setup? If so, uncheck it.

    Change layer setting.  Seems to have worked.

    Hi - Can you explain how you solved this issue in more detail? I'm having the same problem- layers show up as gray in both model and paper view but colors are correct in the properties pane.

     

    Thanks!
