Can't choose 255,255,255 in my plot style

[kfa4CD2E]

Hi,

When I try to change the properties of my plot style, CTB file, i run into an issue.

I have a mask layer, with an assigned color, so I can see where I have a whiteout , without it being white in the model space. But when I try to assign 255,255,255 in my plot style - it changes to "use object color" I can use 255,255,254 - but as soon as I change it to 255,255,255 and clickok in the dialog box, it goes back to "use object color"

Anyone knows whats happening?

I used to be able to do this

255,255,254 should work, but if not, take another color - also the object color is okay,

but change the SCREENING to 0

Hi,

make the same in a new empty CAD dwg , any changes ?

[kfa4CD2E]

255,255,254 does work - im just trying to figure out why I can't select "pure white" anymore.

What does the screening do?

I'm editing the CTB outside of CAD - but the same thing happens if I do it in AutoCAD or try with a new CTB

Hello @kfa4CD2E 

The drawings have to be set up to use named plot styles (STB files). Click here

I guess you missunderstood the problem (the opposite direction,aci should print as 255,255,255)

In STB plotstyletables, you have the same problem.

May i ask why you go this way and not the smart usual way?

Set your wipeout to the color of your choice to see the wipeout while working

and then set WIPEOUTFRAME to 2, so it will not plot. Help[F1]
