uploaded service pack 1 for autocad 2012 last week and now all plots come out in light blue lines. Have tried everything from changing line colors, changing plot styles in the table editor and still same blue lines. Anyone else having this problem and if so how do we correct???

No problem here.  I installed the update as soon as it came out and it did not affect plotting.  What printer/plotter are you using?  Did you change drivers for it recently?  Maybe it is a Windows update that fouled things up.

Coincidence?  I'm using a HP DesignJet 500+ on a system running Windows 7 64-bit.

So even if you select a monochrome.ctb or stb everything plots in blue?

Have you checked the ctb or stb plot style file you're using?

And you have uninstalled and reinstalled the plotter?
