Hello, so I have an AutoCAD file and I have created a layout and have various layers with line types. But I have a problem when I see it before transforming to pdf the colors are fine and the line types are okay. But then when I press plot all colors changes and line types to. I try plotting with acad, monochrome, grayscale all types but it does not work.

In your PAGE SETUP, are you using a plot style (CTB or STB)?

These can alter the on screen appearance in the print.

 

Run the PAGESETUP command, choose your layout and look at the settings.

Post a screenshot of that dialog if needed.

Welcome to Autodesk Forums!

 

Hi Maria,

 

It seems you have transparency assigned to some objects in the drawing, right?
If I’m right, then before saving to PDF it is necessary to set the “Print Transparency” checkbox in the page settings (or in the “Print” window):

 As about line types, I cannot say for sure, because it is difficult to see the difference in line types from your screenshots.
