Hi Jeff,
The AutoCAD TrueColor range includes all colours from the set
0 to 255, 0 to 255, 0 to 255
Thus 0,255,0 is the TrueColor RGB definition of Green
It is not reasonable to ask a drawing supplier to supply drawings not
containing this colour (the implications would be that you are dictating
that they do not use a standard AutoCAD colour setting method for any
colour - not just 0,255,0), so you need to deal with it at your end.
You could write a small program to check the TrueColor value of the
layers (and objects if needed) and set the TrueColor.ColorIndex to
acGreen. - or some other value with which your ctb file can cope.
Regards,
Laurie Comerford

When I open their drawing and plot, typically we use a .ctb that changes all the colors to black and adjusts pen widths accordingly. There is one color in the drawings that always shows up. That color is 0,255,0 it appears on the screen as green, but when we plot, we can tell color 0,255,0 to change to black, therefore it always plots green, which is how it appears in model space. I know that there isn't really a color 0,255,0, so how do i trick autocad into always printing it black instead of green, without going through the trouble of calling the company that always sends these files to us, and have them change on their end.
