Unable to change plot style in layer manager - Autocad LT 2017 for Mac

Unable to change plot style in layer manager - Autocad LT 2017 for Mac

Anonymous
No aplicable

Hi, 

 

I am trying to change the plot style for certain layers in my layer manager but I am unable to do this as the plot style table is greyed out.

 

Actually I would like my sewage layers to print in true color where the others layers print in grey tones.

I am using a ctb file that already has all the lineweights and styles correct, I am just trying to change a few layers to the true color.

 

I used to work on a windows pc, and I don't recall having this problem before.

Is it possible it is only a problem on Autocad Mac?

 

Does anyone knows how to solve this?

Many thanks!

Welcome to the Forums


CTB styles do not work like that. Only STB files do.

 

You need to change the actual colour of the layer itself.

 

Eg if you have set colour 243 in the CTB file to print as true colour 148,256,45 (those were random numbers) than you need to set the layer colour as colour 243

AutoCAD for Windows and MAC reality:

CTB relies on ACI screen colors: they do not work on "truecolors" like RGB or CMYK.

>>>...change the plot style for certain layers in my layer manager ...<<<
Sounds like it's time you move to STB plot style tables, which are assign to the layers as well as objects, but totally ignore screen colors.
