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?

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.]]> Mon, 29 Jun 2009 13:43:25 +0000 https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=2168&PID=6059&title=temporary-layer-change#6059 <![CDATA[Temporary layer change : You can create a separate "plot...]]> https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=2168&PID=6051&title=temporary-layer-change#6051 Author: Vladimir Michl

You can create a separate "plot style" (maps entity colors or style names to plotted colors) and use it for your plot.]]> Mon, 29 Jun 2009 07:53:52 +0000 https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=2168&PID=6051&title=temporary-layer-change#6051 <![CDATA[Temporary layer change : I have an Autocad LT 2007drawing...]]> https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=2168&PID=6045&title=temporary-layer-change#6045 Author: cure4glass

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
