This is a bit of a shot in the dark. I didn't create the drawing and I'm trying to troubleshoot for a co-worker, so I'm not sure of the specifics of the system that did, but here's what's going on:
The drawing appears to be fine, with the lines, hatching and text appearing in the designated colors. When I hit print, the drawing seems okay, but when rendering to print, the text, some hatching, and any text boxes become gray and print out that way. Once printed, the layers do not revert back to the color they were, even though the layer has retained the color. If you open up the text editor, the text selected will return to the color (magenta, in this case), but once you finish editing the text, it turns back to gray.
It's creating problems for printing out, and sadly too much work has been done at this point to start over. Every person who opens this drawing experiences the same thing, so it must be an issue with the particular file. This issue happens when using AutoCAD Map 3D 2008, 2010, and 2012. I thought it might be because it was used by different releases, but they're all saving back to 2004. I thought it might be that the text was created in a higher version and then edited in a lower version, but it's been worked on exclusively by the same person for two months and every time she has this issue.
Any suggestions on a shortcut fix?
Thanks!
