Does anyone know why lines getting black when plotting? As you can see they're grey in paper space (1st pic). 2nd picture is what Im getting out... (Print Screen from "preview").

 

Tried to change Plot style table, but doesnt seem to help.

Welcome to the Forums

 

Does it happen when you choose 'NONE' as a plot style?

What are you plotting to? That device may have a "monochrome" or "all black" setting as well.

Lines are also changing when I choose "NONE" as a plot style...

 

Does it make a difference if I tell you it's a x-ref converted  to dwg. from another architecture program?

 

When I receive these arc.files from the architect I change the whole drawing to same color "White". 

 

I've found a solution, by changing the "timber-construction" to color Grey in the X-ref file... The timer-construction is also a hatched area.

 

This is what it now looks like when plotting:

Can you post the drawing so we can have a look at it?

>>>..I change the whole drawing to same color "White". ...<<<
"white" plots are black, since your printer does not have a white ink cartridge: that's the reason 'grey' now works. You seem to be controlling the results of the plotting my friend.

There is nothing to fix, nothing is broken. Please explain what else you might have thought you needed. Thanks.

As Pendean says, there is nothing to be fixed since white plots are black.

Thank you for your replies!
