My drawing is Black and White (Layer colours are not showing)

Anonymous — Thu, 13 May 2021 09:23:05 GMT

Hello everyone.

So since yesterday I have this problem with my AutoCAD Drawing.
All of a sudden the transparency of the layers went to 0% transparance and I could only see black and while colours on my working drawing. So I fixed the transparency issue by turning on the transparency button on, but my drawing is still black and white, and it is very annoying, as I can't work on it like that.

Also, when I plot it, some ( only some) of the line-weight is not printing to the correct size. I checked on my plot settings, layer settings, and everything seems to be correct.

Please help. Photos attached.

Thank you!!
Best

Vanesa

Welcome to Autodesk Forums!

Hi Vanessa,

>>>>>my drawing is still black and white, and it is very annoying,

Please verify current Page Setup settings - use menu File->Page Setup Manager to edit current Page setup:

If "Display Plot Styles" option is enabled - uncheck it:

>>>>some ( only some) of the line-weight is not printing to the correct size.

If you are sure about lineweight settings for Layers and lineweight settings in Plot Style table file, check if the objects with different lineweights have lineweight assigned individually: select object and look at the Properties Palette (Lineweight property), it should be "ByLayer" in order to print correctly, according Layer/Plot style table settings.

Hello @maxim_k

My colours are back !!! Aren't you a star. Thank you so much.

About the lines... I am absolutely sure all the settings are set up correctly. Weird it does it only on one section, but I will probably reset it or redraw it as I can't see what might be the problem. I thought of double lines - not the case, I have only one line there.

Thank you for your time and help. Much appreciated.

Best Wishes

Vanesa
