I'm brand new to Autocad LT 2013 for Mac. When I try to print a portion of a drawing in model space and it is set for black and white in the print dialog box, not all the lines print black but light gray. What I am doing wrong? I haven't tried to print in paper space yet. Will I have the same problem?
Thanks for your help.
Since I posted I realized that the plot style wasn't set current that would've printed all lines as black. I just stumbled upon ithe selection in the properties inspector. I still never found a dialog box in plot style manager that allowed you to set a plot style as current.
When you print, make sure the "Plot with Plot Style" option is selected. Please have a look at my attachment.
Is it still giving you the same issue?
OP already have found the roots of the issue and posted:

And he (she) is using AutoCAD for Mac and not AutoCAD for Windows.
Plot style settings in Mac version are slightly in another place:

With a Mac, the print box doesn't look like that. It doesn't give you all the variables like the Windows based one did.
My print box on the Mac doesn't look like that. I go to the pull down menu -File - Page Setup manager and a box comes up but there's no arrow at the lower right hand corner.
Disregard the last email. I had to click edit to get the box with the arrow. Thanks for your help on this. It's frustrating to make the transition to Mac because all the commands, etc. are different from windows.
