Sheet Set Manager Plot Style

[Anonymous]

When plotting an individual dwg the resulting PDF's line work and text looks great - shades of grey.  When I publish multiple dwgs through SSM the resulting PDF's line work and text comes in as colored.  I'm using the same Page Setup and the same Plot Style with both ways of printing, but it's as if the SSM is defaulting the Plot Style to one of it's own.  I set up the SSM to "Plotter Named in Page Setup" and then set up all the dwgs to look to the same Page Setup w/ the same Plot Style I use for my individual dwg.  I was told this overrides the SSM to print with the parameters I tell it to.  Like I said though, it looks like it's still using a default Plot Style.

If anyone could help me with this problem, it'd be appreciated.  Thanks for your help!

From your description alone that usually means a different pagesetup got used in PUBLISH command (SSM just uses that command, nothing else).

Test using PUBLISH command alone outside of SSM with these guidelines:
1. Launch Publish from a drawing that is not part of the publish set, but is configured with all your possible sheets and plotter options.
2. Bring in all the drawings/tabs to be published.
3. Import the pagesetup desired from the template file (in your case, one set up for exacting desired output).
4. PUBLISH.

Hi @Anonymous,

Does your problem still exist?  If so, please attach a sample sheetset and your plot styles so I can take a look at what might be happening.

Please also tell me which version of AutoCAD you are using?

I had a problem months ago where my plot style table was corrupted, try backing it up
