AutoCAD prints gray instead of black when trying to plot with colors

Hi!

I want to plot a drawing that has 3 colors (black,red,blue). My layers have the appropriate colors (black for black,red for red etc.). However, when I try to plot, red and blue colors are ok, but black is plotted as gray! I tried the acad.ctb, but still the same. Any ideas?

Hi,

 

please take a look to your own picture: "Plot paperspace last" is DEselected.

This way the draworder is: Paperspace content first, Modelspace content second.

Your hatch prints on top of your layout text..

 

Turn OFF the plot transparency option and you will see that your hatch covers your layout text!

Yes you are right when i check the plot paperspace last then all become normal in print.
but why it not show in layout as layout object at above.
as i show in picture,
the crossing line is in layout and Road hatch is in model(xref)
but line draworder is back why?

>>"Yes you are right when i check the plot paperspace last then all become normal in print."

Okay, so it is solved, you found your issue(hatch in modelspace) and Alfred posted the solution.

[plot Layout last, this way modelspace objects doesn't covers layout objects]


>>"but why it not show in layout as layout object at above. as i show in picture,"

I guess your Layout view was not up2date.

Set your 'paperspace last' and switch to another layout and back again.

Is it right now?
