STB plotting

Anonymous — Fri, 03 Feb 2017 20:56:09 GMT

Hello,

I have an stb plotstyle configured but when I try to plot the colors don't print either grey or color. When I put it to normal color it is able to plot the color attributed to the layer but when I switch to grey or any other color I configured it doesn't plot.

Any help?

Thanks

Post your STB file PLUS your DWG file that is giving you problems, let's all have a go.

All your colors that don't print correctly are from the "true color" color tables. I had some issues with true colors before. I believe true colors always print in color even if you use monochrome, so even though that's not really your issue I'm betting it has something to do with them being true colors. Try switching one of the true colors to an index color or a color book color and see if it plots correctly.
