   Hi, I am detailing drawings that may have been produced in Revit and then converted to 2D to allow manufacturing details to be added. On my plot table I have colours 1 - 255 but all the colours on the DWG are three digits long ie; 255,63,0. How can I change the colour to plot a different colour ( black ) ?

	Sounds like someone assigned True Colors. Wouldn't black be 0,0,0? I take it you are not interested in plotting monochrome correct? Are you use a .ctb or .stb plot style? Edited by John Connor - 15.Jun.2016 at 16:41

	Only if you aren't using True Colors. If you are plotting in monochrome BUT you want to have some objects printed in the color red you have to assign a True Color to the layer the objects are on. Edited by John Connor - 15.Jun.2016 at 18:49

	Sure, I can plot all 255 colours but not if they are three numbers; 255,63,0. I can simply change everything to a regular colour but this is time consuming
