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.

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!
