    Um... what version of autocad are you running?

    Look at the bottom of this screen, you will see some other posts with the word Jitter in them...

    Hmmmm...looks like this thread has gone cold, but I'm wondering about a similar issue. Is there a way to plot the jitter & end overlap that the visual styles produces for a 2-D dwg via a CTB file?

    Currently, it seems to be plotting beautifully jittery and all - but in the colors of the layers. There are some line weights showing up, but I believe that is because we have some redundant use of object line weights in our layer definitions (you know, for on screen use only...not for plotting).

    As a CTB user...I don't know if there is a way to plot in black and white using object line weights? That might be a way go...

    FYI - I'm running vanilla AutoCAD 2007 & not ADT.

    I may not have this 100% correct, but I believe that the visual styles, excepting whatever the equivalent of 2D Wireframe is called, do not plot with plot styles of any sort [STB or CTB].

    Forgot to mention that when using CTBs, you can specify that the object lineweight be used, and specify black as the color, but that still will not change the behavior of plotting a shaded visual style.

    It seems to me that the visual style overrides any plot style I set up. I'm just learning visual styles & I would guess there must be a way to have objects plot 'black' from a visual style. I'm getting great shades of grey using monochrome and/or plotting colors to a B&W device...but haven't landed on an option for 'black'...
