Ole Object Highlighted Section Not Plotting The Color

[jpateQ5L7E]

When I add an Ole object to a CAD drawing (Excel, Word doc) and I high light a section of the document, when I plot it, the highlighted section doesn't show. I've checked the Plot Style Table (monochrome.ctb) settings, but still nothing. Thanks in advance for any help.

Plot Style Table settings have no effect whatsoever on images in your DWG file: they only affect AutoCAD Objects.

your image must contain whatever you want it to print from the source of the image.

What I'm doing is in CAD going to Insert/OLE Object/Microsoft Excel Worksheet. I add the data to the Excel Worksheet and highlight a couple of rows. In CAD, the image shows the highlighted rows, and when I go to plot it, I can preview it and it shows the highlighted rows, but when its plotted, the highlights are gone.

Have you tried plotting a PDF using Dwg To Pdf.pc3 ?

Just tried it. Same results.

Do you have the latest LT updates installed? Enter ABOUT command, do a screen capture & post that here

Yes, I just got a new computer about a week ago, and installed CAD from the website. I was having this issue with my other computer, but just lived with it. Figured I'd throw this out and see if someone had a fix.

Still doesn’t mean you installed the latest AutoCAD LT updates

Thanks for the screenshots: you want to change this from MONOCHROME to...

Then your OLE will print in the color it is in the source file.

It does do that for most users since the last year I believe

That did. Thank you so much. I knew it was going to be some setting that I was missing.

Thanks. I will double check this. My original issue was resolved by pendean's comment. Thank you again.
