Plot Style Not Showing Line Colors in Viewport.... All Black

[payingtoomuch]

Have set up a template so that all line weights and line types are assigned in the layer properties manager.

Have assigned a CTB plot style to the layouts that allows for keeping these settings and also PLOTTING the line colors all black WITHOUT needing to set the VP Color to Black in the viewport. So, all VP Colors are the same as the default model space colors.

"Problem" is that when I did this for whatever reason the settings have set the colors of the linework INSIDE the viewport to black as well..... as would also be achieved with a plot preview.

I want to maintain the colors inside the viewport but also have them PLOT & PREVIEW black.

Not understanding why it's not doing so with the way I have set up

Have assigned pen color to black> Linetype to Use Object Linetype> Lineweight to Use Object Lineweight

Any ideas what I can do?

In the layout's page setup, uncheck "Display Plot Styles".

Thanks Ed. Thought you had fixed it for me..... But my software doesn't have that particular tick box.

What version did that start showing up in?

Anyone else have another solution?

you are not in the PAGESETUP dialog, you're looking in the PLOTdialog..

Thanks CAD FFM. Yes, just figured that out and was getting ready to post.

Wonder why that selection is not an option in the plot dialog box.....

Anyway, there are a lot of happy campers in the office now.

As always thanks for everyone's help!
