I have a titleblock that I imported from autocad and modified for my Revit sheet titleblock. The original titleblock had the lines with colors for lineweight by color in autocad. In the Revit family I changed all of the line colors to black in object styles settings in the family and they display properly in the family but when I load the titleblock into the drawing they are still colored. I need the lines to be black so when I set color as grayscale in the plotter setup properties my titleblock won't be halftone.

Did you draw over you AutoCAD file or exploded it?
Is it possible that you still have the AutoCAD lines in there?
Nothing is colored under object styles, even in Imported Categories?

I did this a long time ago and don't remember exactly but I believe I exploded the titleblock. I can't see that there is still an unexploded titleblock hidden underneath. In the family when I pick settings/object styles I get a dialog with annotation objects with the different line styles listed with settings for color and weight.

Can you post the family so we can have a look?

Works perfectly here so my guess is that it was loaded in the project before you fix the lines clor so in your project go to Object Styles and change the color.

Thanks so much!!
I was looking at the line styles in the project and those lines were not listed. I found them under object styles/titleblocks.
