If you see different color between printing and model,

Check your Plot CTB, Layer status (Whether ByLayer or Color), Block object (It needs to see in Block editor).

Hi @Anonymous,

Thank you for posting the screenshot and additional details.

It looks like your AMD card is not certified for AutoCAD 2018 products on Windows 7, 8.1, or 10 systems (you didn't say which you're working on, so I'm included both as examples).

This means that, while you may be able to get the card to work well, it is not tested or guaranteed by Autodesk to work well.

• Here is a link to all the certified AMD cards for AutoCAD 2018 products on Windows 7.
• Here is a link to all the certified AMD cards for AutoCAD 2018 products on Windows 10.
• *There are no AMD cards certified for AutoCAD 2018 and Windows 8.1 systems.

There are a couple of options for you to try to work around this:

• Install the latest driver available for your card from AMD, since the newer drivers tend to improve upon the older ones.
• Disable Hardware Acceleration, since this takes advantage of the features in the certified cards.
• Upgrade to a certified graphics card.
