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?

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.

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
