Hi all,

 

 

The problem is,

 

Autocad cannot print B&W color using DWG file that was exported from Rhinoceros. I've tried many settings in Autocad, but It didn't work.

 

Could someone help me figure out why this happends?? I need your guidance! 

 

I've attached sample file

 

 

Regards,

Kev

A plot style table has not been assigned to the Model tab or any of the named Layout tabs (I did not check Layout1 or Layout2).  Assigning one that assigns a Black color to all plot styles (with, perhaps, varying levels of screening) would be the first step to achieving a black and white plot.

 

All of your layers, other than 0 and Defpoints, have a True Color value assigned.  Many of the objects in the file have a hard-coded True Color assgined.  My understanding is that True Colors will plot in that color.  Change the color assignments of main objects to ByLayer (or, if you must, an AutoCAD Index Color), and assign an Index Color to all Layers.  Coordinate the assigned Index Color(s) with the chosen plot style (CTB in your case, as this is a color-dependent plot style file - unless you choose to convert it to named plot styles), so that things plot the way you want.

I had the same problem. I changed the layer colors from RGB values to AutoCAD index colors and now the layers are mapping to the .ctb file.
