AutoCad :: Grey Lines When Plotting To PDF?
Apr 7, 2010Only happens on angled or curved lines like this.
Why does it do that? And how do I change it to all black lines?

AutoCad :: Grey Lines When Plotting?
Jan 26, 2012Im trying to plot my drawing from AutoCad 2012 - DWG to PDF format. The problem I have encountered is that when the pdf is created, it has some of the lines in grey which they werent in AutoCad whatsoever. When I zoom into the lines on the pdf, these lines turn black as should be and appear normal. why this is happening and how I can create a PDF where the lines will stay black.

Dec 3, 2012Is there an obvious reason why a polyline would plot grey instead of black? If I select a monochrome plot style table, the lines are black. I noticed certain fonts will plot grey instead of black, but I am stumped on an object.

Aug 11, 2011how to stop AutoCAD Lt from ploting in grey... it doesnt seem to make sense to me why this is happening. We use to have Autocad 2007 and a lot of the files that we still work from were created in that. Everytime files are now plotted to pdf parts of the drawing appear a very light grey as oppose to black which is how they appear on the screen. In the plot style table in the page setup they are also black - and I have tried changing it from monochrome to custom pen assignments, nothing seems to change it. The files are usually in stb as oppose to ctb. whole page prints black or the colours that I have actually clicked on?

Apr 25, 2012i am doing a simple project making a survey plot for a piece of land that will be broken into subdivision. all measurements are of my starting point. after plotting the starting point i try to draw line that is 113 feet long and at a bearing of N 5d W i have no problem entering this data but when i hit enter it draws a straight line. now i know 5 degrees is much of an angle so i thought maybe it just looked straight and tried to plot the next point which was 542 feet from the last point at a bearing of N 39d E but once again after i put the info in and hit enter or space it would plot a line of the proper length but vertical, not the proper angle i need it at. here is how i would put in the info:
first i choose the lne command and choose my "beginning point" as that starting point for my line then i type 113<N 5d W for the length and direction and hit enter. when i do this it plots a vertical line of the proper length but wrong angle. what am i doing wrong? i have ortho set to off and idk what else to mess with

Jan 23, 2013I've recently had to export DWG files to PDF and the lines print in black whether they are angled/curved or straight. The problem I'm experiencing is that a number of objects that have been rotated at an angle or lines that are curved appear dark grey on the screen in PDF format. I'm using the DWG to PDF. pc3 with monochrome setting selected. I've checked the Plot Style Table Editor and all colours have been selected to print 'black'; greyscale is 'off' and screening is at 100%. Is this a 'bug' or is there a fix for this problem?

Oct 2, 2012The above sums it all up. Note the properties are NOT GREY they are what they are supposed to be.
The file was created in version 2012 by another designer now it is being completed in 2013 by myself.
I can do a quick fix by creating a wblock of the problem lines and text etc to enable a print out without the GREYING
problem but once the drawing is closed and opened once again the drawing has GREYED whatever is in model space again. (note that xrefed lines etc are fine)
Ps I have attached the problem file with all the xrefs and jaz unattached/taken off etc

Jul 24, 2013I have few text labels and lines in a drawing that supposed to have black color.
However, color at some point changed to grey.
Color- by layer, transparency- by layer, viewstyle- 2D Wireframe...
The thing is if I double click on a text it turns to black but after regenall it turns to grey again!
Already did restart and everything. Looks like there is maybe some variable for color control, I don't know.

AutoCad :: Plotting Hidden Lines
Jun 14, 2011I'm opening a drawing created in AutoCAD 2008, which is plotting hidden arcs as solid lines. Straight hidden lines are dashed as normal. I've attached both the paperspace view and the plot preview to show what I mean. The outer radius is showing as dashed in paperspace view, but appears as a solid line when plotted. The straight line leading to it is dashed in both views.

Nov 26, 2009In hiden lines configuration, when I am plotting my drawing, the tangent lines of 3D cylinders (this is a pipes drawing) are missing. I have tried many options to solve that problem: paper plot , pdf plot, high pdf resolution plot, small size drawing plot, changed the thickness of the lines, change the color of the lines, plot with other computers... I did not find any solution and I have to send my drawings to a customer. In any configurations, the lines appears but others disappears. Even in the preview plot, lines are missing.

Jul 24, 2013I am using autocad 2013 on Mac and plotting to hp designjet 510. Lines are always missing when I print especially medium to thin lines or hidden lines or for example hatch tile lines. I use the plotter also on a pc and there are no problems at all. I changed the thickness of my lines in ctb and still have lines missing. I change percision to 1 and same thing. If I print draft, normal or best I still have problems. I know how to spool and use in built memory on pc but can not find something similar on the mac and dont know if that will work, as i printed same drawings from pc. It seems that when there are close lines together or dense lines in an area, it just skips them.

May 25, 2012When I plot directly to a plotter or to a PDF file from paper space, some of the 3d pipe model will fade out along the pipe line. It happens to some of the lines, not all. I have re-drawn the pipes and drawn them using different UCS orientations. No change. I changed the layer color, changed the tessellation, line weight. Can this problem be related to the display driver, either software or video card? I have the latest drivers. ACAD ver. 11, nvidia quatro fx-3800 card.

May 4, 2012when I am working on a large drawing and/or pasting as a block, all the grey lines (colour 8) turn to white. When I select a grey line, it flicks back to grey, but de-select, and it's white again.
If I toggle on hardware acceleration, the problem is fixed for a short while, and also if I turn it off, it is fixed for a short while, and also if I save, close and re-open it's good untill I paste a block....
I suspect it may be because of my setup and an un tested graphics card:

AutoCAD Print / Plot :: DWF - Lines Plotting Too Heavy?
Jun 18, 2007I am finding that my DWF files sent to the plotter are plotting with the linework being heavier than the same file sent directly to our plotter. These are just lines that should plot with a narrow width (ie walls on a floor plan) but they seem to be about twice the width and hence look "darker". Is there a setting that I am missing or some other way to get the lines to plot out thinner? Also, TTF fonts plot thicker in DWF. I've tried the various options in the DWF viewer when sending to the plotter, but none seem to work.

Sep 25, 2013I have a client who updated to AutoCAD Arch 2014 and now is having trouble with his grey lines printing pixilated.
He is using the same .ctb file from 2013 (moved up from 2012) also his pc3 file (from 2012). When he moved to 2013 he had this issue and went back to his 2012 pc3 and everything was working fine again.
So when he had the issue in 2014 he started using the 2012 pc3 file. But this time - no change.
AutoCAD Print / Plot :: Parts Of Lines Not Plotting
Sep 12, 2013I have a 3D drawing I created in AutoCAD 2014 64bit that is not printing properly. When you look at a print preview everything shows up and looks like it should print properly. However, when I print parts of lines are missing. Example, I have a rectangle and only half of it prints. Only two sheets out of eight do not print properly and all started as the same template. I have tried everything as follows:
Checked the layers were set to plot. Made sure the lines were not on defpoints. Moved all the items that do not print properly to the front. I am not using a ctb or stb file.
I have purged. I have audited. I have tried copying to a new drawing and creating my viewports again. I tried changing the quality from Normal to Maximum. I tried printing to a printer, to Adobe PDF, to CutePDF, to DWGtoPDF.pc3, and to PDF995. All of which gave me slightly different areas missing.

Jan 12, 2012I recently took a 3 day AutoCAD course in London and found it invaluable. I have been meaning to get AutoCAD sorted for so long so as to improve my workflow.
Was looking forward so much to putting my new knowledge to use for a site plan, but got round to it finally, and now that I have made the plan and done the layout properly, the result is a shoddy piece of rubbish, no where near suitable for client hands. Even the house floor and wall textures are gone.
I had set the page to print at 170mm x 290mm.
