Is there any way I can make every drawings ALWAYS print in monochrome?
I'm getting really tired of having to set it to monochrome every time I plot something. Or even worse, printing 10 copies of something and THEN noticing i forgot to set it monochrome (just happened). I will never NOT want to plot in monochrome.
Is there a way to make the default size of a chamfer 1/16"?

Is there a setting somewhere to make it default to not draw a line?

I have created a new drawing template, setup all border/title blocks and dimensioning styles as I would like. Save as a template and load it up from the 'new' menu, gives me this error and I am not clear on why since I set the details in it...
Not sure what the deal is but it resets my styles to default. Do I need to make copies of those default ones and set those as in my object defaults?

just upgraded from 2004 to 2012. Wow, sure looks different.I'm playing around with the ribbon & don't know how to stop an annoying behavior. I position the ribbon locked to the side of my display because I have a wide screen & if docked to the top I end up with a very wide, skinny drawing area. when ever I make a change tp the ribbon contents it goes back to the default top position, after which I have to relocate it again. Is there a way to get it to remember the previous position of the ribbon?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI use Autocad 2008LT and want to save the file in .pdf monochrome when I email it to contractors. I can plot in monochrome easily but when I convert .dwg to .pdf and go to properties- graphics->vector graphics monochrome is grayed out in resolution and color depths. A line below says "this device cannot configure some (all) of these values". Is this a limitation of LT?

I have tried using Page Setup Manager and created a (or what I thought was a) monochrome .stb file. However, even with the mono.stb file selected the plots still plot in color.Is it possible to configure a .stb file to plot in only black?
We need to plot revised drawings with clouds for a local building department that demands the clouds be in color with everything else in the standard B/W !!!
Our office pen settings are set in a way that a particular line color has a specific lineweight, i.e., on the screen all the lineweights appear the same, but when plotted the lineweights vary.
My first thought was to to simply turn all the layers to one color (white for example) and the clouded layer to be red, create a PDF in color thus having black lines and red clouds. This works, however, all the lineweights are now the same which makes for an unappealing drawing.
Is there a way to isolate the clouds as one color (red) and monochrome the other layers yet still maintaining their pre-determined lineweights?
I am trying to plot a multi-colored layout in monochrome. I have gone through the page setup manager and set my style to monochrome. My prints come out in color. I have made my own propety and listed the print to be made in black only. Is there another setting that I need to setup differently to print in Black & White?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI am trying to print only in black and white from Autocad, so that only line weights can make a difference, but it does not work. Everything turns out in colour, using the colours I used for working in Autocad.

View 3 Replies View Relatedmy DWG is set to monochrome.ctb. Everything prints ok except my 2 isometric 3D viewports which prints in its real color (visual styles are conceptual). Why don't they print also in monochrome? I saw a couple of discussions on that problem but the "hidden" and "hidden 3D" options in shade option isn't working...I want them to stay the same, just print in monochrome with screening! I read about some option called "hidden legacy" but can't find that anywhere.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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 am using the monochrome plot style and plotting to PDF. My text looks great in the Plot Preview, but once actually hit 'Plot' the line weight of my text and dimensions appears super thick and heavy. They are also assigned to the lightest line weight in the layer property manager.

I can open sub-assemblies and they show as the correct color but when I close them the main assembly and the recently open sub-assembly go back to monochrome.

We frequently publish drawings to PDF files. However, we recently noticed that when we publish to the PDF file in monochrome, all hatching publishes in color.
We need the entire PDF in black and white, but I can't figure out what settings I'm missing.
Using autocad 2013 and if I choose plot and do dwg to pdf and choose the page setup I want which is landscape,Plot area limits,center plot and fit to page with monochrome pen. then my drawing turns into a pdf just fine.
I am tring to print a drawing set of electrical drawings using the batch plot and I am getting them to plot to pdf as a all drawings in a single file and all drawings as individual files but I don't see a way to set it to monochrome when using the batch plot and all my draings are plotting with the layer colors.
How can I change the batch plot to use monochrome?
how to select Monochrome so I get my drawings printing in black in only? I can't seem to be able to select this function?

We have experienced what we think is a bug in AutoCAD 2010's printing. We are running A2010 with Update 1 & 2 installed. Same issue on both x32 & x64 hardware.
Each project is setup with a title block xref'ed into the sheet (quite common method).
The Title Block xref generally has images loaded & therefore the image is a child to the sheet file when the TB is referenced in.
We have used this method for about 15 years across most versions of AutoCAD with no issues before now.
Now on AutoCAD 2010, when we print the sheet, the xref'ed TB images print black & white, rather than color. However if we use AutoCAD 2008 with same pagesetup/ctb/pc3 etc, we get the same print, but image is colour (as we would expect & want).
This leads us to think that there is some issue in AutoCAD 2010 with xref'ed images & how they are treated when plotting.
To complicate matters further, if we bind the title block, thus making the image embeded within the sheet, the images now print fine in full colour.
So, if a image is loaded via a xref'ed dwg, it plots in Black & White. If image is referenced into live sheet (not via xref), then it plots in color. All other xref'ed linework prints as expected (defined by ctb).
Is there any new variable which manages the colour printing of the image in A2010 which we are not aware of (that didnt exist in A2008)?
Having problem with the monochrome .ctb plot style table not showing up in the plot dialogue for AutoCAD Architecture 2010? Typically it seems to be standard upon install of the software.
