Hi All, first post here.
After a few years of the bad economy and working retail to eat I'm getting back to civil and land survey drafting. The last version of LDD and C3d that I used was 2004. I'm now working with a version called AutoCAD Civil 3D Land Desktop Companion 2008. For some reason I when I plot from dwg to pdf (plotter) using a newly created ctb file, it plots in color instead of the style the company I work for uses. Red plots red, the rest plots black. line weight are set in the CAD file by editing line widths. Not my Idea, this is a company standard. Additionally, I work remotely and use their machine and software.(I use the plotstyle manager to create the style, I go back into that file all is set correctly, I have set the default plot style in options/plot and publish...still plots to pdf in color.
Any Ideas as to what the problem may be? Attached is the plot style I am trying to use.
** Thanks to another post I got it to work, Little arrow down at the bottom expands to see a redundant setting for plot styles.
Thanks,
