    Posted: 29.Jun.2009 at 02:00

I have an Autocad LT 2007drawing with several layers.I'd like to print the drawing with only one layer colored and the rest Black, but only for the current print so I don't want to permanently change the layer colors.Is there a way to do this with a few clicks ?I'm a fairly basic cad user and have'nt tried this.

I appreciate the help-Greg

You can create a separate "plot style" (maps entity colors or style names to plotted colors) and use it for your plot.

You can also change the plot colors within a layout tab.  Click within the viewport on your layout and then open up your layer manager. On the far right you see a color pallette from there you can change all your colors to black and keep your one or more layers in color.  I hope that helps.

Thanks for the help. I created the Plot styles as follows from the plot style Table:
Node 1-Black- All other settings for this node remained at default
and Styles Node 2 thru Node 8 with different colors and line weight at 1.4 with no other changes.Next, I go into my Drawing and in the layer formatting, under Plot Style, I select the desired style (Node 1 thru Node 8). However when I plot the line thickness(Wt) is not changing.Any suggestions?
