Autocad LT help for non CAD person

Sep 26, 2005 4 Replies

To start off, I'm a computer person, not a CAD person. Our draftsman quit and I need to plot some drawings but am having a problem. Some of the drawings have a lot of yellow on them, which doesn't show up very well when plotted on white paper. I've tried plotting using grayscale, but the yellow just shows up as a very faint gray. I've found the layers screen and changed the color for the all layers that show as yellow to black, but some of them still show up as yellow. Is there a simple way to tell Autocad LT to plot everything in black? Also, is there a way to have the drawing on the screen with a white background instead of a black one? Thanks for any help.

Tersely worded but sufficient to point me in the right direction.

Thanks Dan

Chances are there is already a pen setting in the computer somewhere that the previous cad person set up. Your problem will be in finding it.

Plot dialogue, Plot Device tab, set Plot Style Table to monochrome.ctb

That should do it.
