AutoCAD 2013 :: Plot A Drawing Not A Color CTB File

Oct 30, 2013

I am trying to plot a drawing and am using a .ctb file that is not a color .ctb file.  When I go to plot the plot wants to plot in color.  Is there a setting in Options or somewhere that would be causing this?

AutoCAD 2013 :: Plot Styles - Cannot Choose Existing CTB File In Drawing

Apr 29, 2013

I received a drawing today that doesn't allow me to choose existing ".ctb" files.  Opening the "Plot style table (pen assignments)" from the Page Setup dialogue box.  I can choose "Start from scratch" , use a "CFG" file, or "Use a PCP or PC2" file".  I do not have any CFG files.  I usually use PCP in my "Plot" dialogue box for the plotter pull-down menu.

How to use my plot style "BRhalf.ctb" when plotting this drawing.  Also, a "heads-up" on background information on this drawing's plot style options, vs. the plot style options on many other drawings I have plotted.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Get Batch Plot To Plot PDFs To Single File

Sep 30, 2013

I have just switched over to 2014 and i cannot for the life of me get my batch plot to plot PDF's to a single file! Instead, it's printing all 37 layouts separate. I tried switching between multi-file & single file in the publish options, but nothing!

i know that it took me a while to perfect my settings the last time i set up a new version, but i am struggling to work it out now.

AutoCAD 2013 :: How To Plot In Same Way Than Shown Drawing On Screen

Dec 10, 2013

I have used Microstation before and just used Autocad for 1 month.I am field surveyor and use Autocad for plotting stake out or other measurements. When I have to deliver a pdf drawning, there are 2 important things:

- It's have to be clear to see what I have done

- it's important to see the drawing I used to do job.

Making a new drawing with my measurements on it.To make it readable for the end user, I am using fading (transparency) on my referenced drawing. It is looking fine on the screen, but not on the plot.

On the plot all the colours are coming back to the original (before I change the transparency)I try to look on the plot style, but obviously it is not possible to change the settings for the referenced file, just for the all drawing.

What I am looking for is how to plot what I see on the screen (WYSIWYG)?I have looked for a solution on internet (can read english, danish & french) but I didn't find the solution yet!I would like to know how I can solve this problem?

I have to add, that I have several working sites with a lot of drawings, so I am looking for an easy/quick solution.

AutoCad :: Applying Plot Style To A Drawing In 2013 Educational Version?

Oct 16, 2013

I am using the Autocad 2013 educational version. I have a drawing with a .ctb file. When i print, it is printing with the lines in colour. I would like the lines to print in black or grey. I assume I need to change the plotstyle to a monochrome.ctb plot style, but cannot work out how to change the plot style.

Is the plot style changed in the model or paper space of the drawing, or in the print menu?

- I have looked extensively under File/ print and can find nowhere to change a plot style.

- under File/ plot styles I can select from a list of .ctb files - but it only allows me to edit them - not apply them to the drawing.

- In the drawing under the properties inspector i can see a plot style menu and it is currently showing the option ' bycolour' when I click on the pull down options menu, there are no other options. There is also a 'plot table type; but it says this is ' not available'

-When i type plot styles in the drawing it brings up a bring s up an edit plotstyle table window, and this has a pull down menu that displays arrange of plot styles , but when I select one it only allows me to edit the plot style table and save and close. It does not actually apply it to the drawing.

AutoCAD 2013 :: CTB Plot File

May 17, 2013

Having an issue where the .ctb works in some paper space tabs and not in others. When we do the plot preview on one tab the line weight is correctly shown, and when we go to a different tab, the preview displays colors and no line weight. We tried this on two separate machines both running the same operating system, AutoCad 2013 and using the same .ctb.. We tried creating a new copy of the ctb. There must be a setting that is different in the viewports, but I can not figure out what it is.

AutoCAD 2013 :: Plot Colour Display Contents Of CTB File?

I've attempted to plot the contents of a ctb file using any one of the 'export to csv' routines floating around the web however what i'd like to include (an never seem to manage) is an actual display of the colour represented by the pen (you will of course realise i am referring to a ctb file rather than stb).

AutoCAD Print / Plot :: 3D Drawing Won't Plot In Black And White Using CTB

Nov 21, 2011

We do most of our drawing in 2D – quaint I know, but that’s the way the office works.  On occasion we’ll do something as a solid model to guide a client understand a complex roof or a clearance problem. We started a model for a project we are working on and ended up using it as building elevations.

The problem is with plotting. If I use our standard office CTB (which is set to print as black), I get color printouts no matter what I try. I have tried using an STB and changing all our layer colors to “7” in an attempt to make it print black, but I'm getting extremely undesirable - seemingly random - line weight results.

The client wants the next project done in 3D as well and I’d like to be able to have the elevations look right.

AutoCad :: Plot To PDF With Batch Plot Or Export Drawing To PDF

Mar 17, 2011

AutoCAD 2011 - XP - 2 Machine office

When I use the pdf plot drivers from AutoCAD or the export to pdf option the resulting pdf is not available to the other computer trying to access it through a shared folder.

When I plot to pdf with batch plot or export the drawing to pdf and save the file in the shared folder, the other computer can not open the pdf (file not found) or attach the file to an email (you do not have permission)

Why is this? All other files share and open fine. Only pdf files from batch plot, plot to dwg to pc3, or export to pdf. This is a pain and I still have to use another plot driver (cutepdf) to get a fully useable pdf for our office.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Why Does Normal Plot Style Plot In Color

Oct 9, 2013

AutoCAD - Why does the Normal plot style plot in color? Black seems to make a lot more sense. Almost everyone in Architecture uses black prints most frequently so that should be the default. And you can't adjust Normal to all black. So what was AutoDesk's reasoning?

AutoCad :: Cannot Plot With Color Dependent Plot Style

Nov 8, 2012

I am an experienced Autocad user, and plotted with ctb files. I installed 2013 and plots come out not as i want. Although i assigned a ctb plot style, lines come out according to an unknown plan to me. I attached the file. It seems that the lines are influenced by the ctb file, but some colors are fadded I found it. i had to assign the color black to all colors, since it plotted with colors, on the black and white plotter. But a new problem arose. now i don't see colors when i am in the layout, all lines are white!

AutoCAD Print / Plot :: Pixelated Plot Of PDF In File When Printing To PDF

Apr 8, 2010

I am plotting a file that has a pdf referenced into it. The quality of the plot is degraded only at the inserted pdf. The rest of the AutoCAD file looks fine. The inserted pdf is a printed AutoCAD file which looks clear and even has embedded layers and linework I can snap to (which seems to indicate that there is vector information present when it is in Autocad.

I have attached an image with 4 zoomed-in screen shots to show what I'm describing.
