AutoCAD Map 3D :: Plotting Feature Lines In Black And White Not Color
Aug 14, 2013
I'm new to Map 3D and not to Civil 3D. I connected to a roads and streams shp file from a ArcGIS directory. Everything came in great and I even was able to get everything named all at once from the attibute directory. The problem is that the features seem to only plot in the colors that I see them as. If I change them all to black, then I see can't see them at all. I have been spening the past 3 hours trying to get them to jus plot black. We also have to stick with stb plot styles in our department.
I am trying to set up a Plot Style for the office and have gone through the standard procedures to do this, but can not get it to print in black/white. I am trying to set up a universal plot style that everyone uses.
I have attached my screen showing my plot style manager settings.Â
I am trying to plot this floor plan, which has different layers, and each layer has diferent colour. When I select, dwg to pdf, A4@1:00 ISO full bleed with monocrome applied, and do a prewiew of this plot, all of the layers are plotting black like they should exept one, which is showed in the image. The layer is no diferent from the others. I created a new layer named simillar to the one with the issue, moved things across to the new layer, changed new layer colour, and it fixed the issue.
Also, when ready to plot, the autocad comes up with a message saying that I dont have a pdf reader, but I do. I have the adobe reader installed. Usually, when I plot the drawing as pdf it nicely, automaticaly brings up adobe reader with the drawing, and I can quicly review it. Now I just keep getting this message.
Is there a way to "link" the adobe reader, so that it stops jumping out this message, and instead, opens it outomaticly, like normally it does.
I love using the Black and White feature under Adjustments, but I was wondering if there was an option to replace Black with another colour? (Blue and White, Red and White)?
I scanned a black and white print in color and am trying to replace all the black with dark green. Been trying for hours in elements 9. This is all so hard. Just to ask this question I have typed it into 3 different screens, set screenname, many other hurdles.
How do I make my corridor feature lines to change color? I want daylight cut to be red and daylight fill to be green.I've checked under "Toolspace/Settings/General/Multipurpose styles/Feature line styles/Corridor daylight line - Cut" but it doesn't work.
Why do our feature lines all come in as the color white when xreffed into a drawing? Feature lines show up just fine in our topo drawing, so then we xref it into our design drawing and they all show as if the color is white when is is not in the layer properties. Â All other items (symbols, points, and lines) come in as the color they were drawn in the topo drawing. Â
i've set up two ctb files one color and the other black and white . is it possible to assign drawings on the same sheet , two different ctb files so that one prints in color and the other black and white.
I am very new to photography and Lightroom 3.4 64 bit. I have a photo of an apple on the table. I want to get the photo black and white (did that already). Now I want the apple it self to remain its own red color. How do I do that? Â Also, I have this apple and its reflection is on the knife that is cutting the apple. How can I get that in color too?
i have seen some concept drawings JUST DRAWINGS where the pen lines n stuff have been turned into white and the background has been turned into black its sort of like a blackborad and chalk effect and it looks really good for presentational ideas... can anyone possibley tell me how i can achieve this myself if i were to scan in my own drawings?
I just finsihed setting up this new computer. I reloaded AC 2012 LT. I need to reset my settings. I do not rmember how to change that black background to white.
I am trying to draw some red signs with white lettering, but my text is always black in paper space whether I set the text layer color to black or white. How do I make a white layer in paper space?
I have a color picture which I took, of a red berry bush. I want to remove all the color except for the red from the berries. I know how to lasso the berries, but I can't remove the color from the bush/background and leave the red berries.
Note: I did this once a couple years ago, and can't remember how I did it..I have some memories, but probably remember just enough to make me dangerous. I have done some searches but obviously the results are numeorus and I haven't found what I am looking for yet.
I know the solution involves selecting the berries and then inversing it and then setting all 3 colors to 0 for the background.
What I can do is 1) lasso the berries
2) inverse what I can't figure out 1) it seems like there was 1 step about layering which enabled me to get started, but I don't remember this, it does seem like I am missing something very basic when I try to do this
3) Where is the color scale, the only thing I can find is the grayscale option which switches the entire project to black and white.
I am trying to bring in a couple of Tiff Images into autocad civil 3D. The issue is when I preview the image its in color, however when I insert it into Autocad it is black and white. Is there a way to change the image in Autocad to show up in color?
I tried to set a color photo over top of a black and white one to airbrush away enough to expose the backround (the grayscale pic) but when I tried to copy onto the first layer, it turned my color photo to grayscale. I tried this with the gray pic locked and unlocked. What did I do wrong, or can this even be done?
how i can take a picture and get especific objects and keep them in color and change the rest to black and white? Its one of those cool effects dont know if u guys seen it...thanks
The question that i have is, how do you do the effect, or is it even an affect where the whole pic is black and white but there is 1 color that is not. like from the attached pic you can see that the red is showing. you can see some on my skin and some on that red tape thing in the background.
OK So I’ve been looking and searching around this site to try to get to know it. I found so many things that I'll use!! One thing I found but couldn't get to much detail on is coloring a grayscale image.
How do you get the hair color? Do you really need to Zoom in and just go in to detail? I guess that's what make a great Artist..
I want a plugin that make the black and white (pic. 1) pictures to color pictures (pic. 2) like RED or what hex you add in. Opposite of Black and White addon (pic. 3).
In celebration of our 50th anniversary, I would like to create a series of ads that have a black & white image (old) fading into a full color image (new) as the background. What is the best way to accomplish this?  Ubiquitous Info: Adobe CS6 PS v13.0.1 x32 extended on a Win XP sp3 OS
I am using Photoshop 6.0 and would like to know (in stupid people terms) if there is a way that I can make my photo black and white, but still have one color in it (for example, a black and white face except for green eyes).
