Plotting drawing with 3D-Solids, Xclip`s as Shaded with edges with line colors as plotstyles

[marius.andersen3RVB4]

Hi
I have made a AutoCAD drawing in modelspace.
Use of layouts are not allowed in company.
Drawing contains 3D-solid objects and details are made from blocks and xclip`s.
 I have trouble plotting.
Shading turns out ok, but all other lines and text is printed as object color.
Not as plotstyle... Numbered colors as Black, rgb colors as color

Do anyone know how to print shaded views at plotstyle?

That's an interesting statement.

That's how AutoCAD works if you only use CTB plot style tables, and not STB plot style tables. Ask your CAD Manager about making the switch, if you both need more help come back to ask and share a sample DWG file please.

Share sample dwg, ctb, pdf and screen capture of your Plot dialog

Ctg is not the issue here.
Drawing border, titleblock and dimensions are on layers with numbered colors.
Plotstyle table is set to print all numbered colors as black..
This is how it shall work.
Issue is that when i choose to print shaded.
Shaded viewport options - Shade plot - Shaded with edges.
Then it prints 3D-solid as shaded perfectly but it does not print lines (Titleblock drawing border etc. as black.
It prints them as object color, even if plot style table is set to print the numbered colors as black.
When it choose to not print as shaded lines on layers are printed according to plot style table.

Hi.
I`m not allowed to post pictures of real design here.
Color Polyline = 1
Color Box = 5

I want the solid object to be printed shaded in color
I want the polyline to be printed according to plotstyle table
Also..... I want the edges to be printed black, but when i choose to print shaded with edges the edges is printed as object color.

Hmm ???

@marius.andersen3RVB4 thank you for the two screenshots.

This is why you see color in your output, no workaround if you are committed to that, sorry, except to change the resulting PDF in another program or PDF Editor to be all monochrome.

Your PLINE will have to be "white" which will print black: this can be done in your outlawed Paperspace and Viewports if your Pline was on a separate layer.

This confirms my thoughts.
To bad we cannot create shaded views of a 3D-Model like this in AutoCAD, as we do in Inventor Drawings.

Thanks for helping.
