Batch Plotting Black And White Drawings in AutoCAD 2016 LT

[Anonymous]

I am having some issues batch plotting a set of drawings black and white, when using a custom CTB file. I do not seem to have the problem when I plot one drawing at a time. I do not want to use the monochrome CTB as it will not preserve the custom CTB properties.

I have setup a page layout and applied it to all of the drawings, but to no avail.

I have a feeling it is something funky with the printer driver or plotter settings. Any help would be appreciated.

could you try recreating the ctb file?

You may have not applied that one pagesetup correctly: try again, test with the Autodesk provided MONOCHROME.CTB file.

Hi @Anonymous,

Perhaps you can try this:

Create a new page setup that includes your paper size and plot configuration which includes the custom CTB file. Then, apply this page setup to each of your layouts/drawings that you are trying to batch plot.

Then try your Publish using the Plotter named in Page setup.

Does this work for you?
