    Default LAYER AND MODEL SPACE COLORS NOT SHOWING PROPERLY

    Hi all,

    I'm having a problem with one drawing out of a dozen. I have all my colors set to "by layer" however all my text/linework are MOSTLY grey scaled out. I have some entities on my "ADD" LAYER which will show the color properly - in this case red. But, some lines will be greyed out and I'll have to double click them to show red, but once I de-select, they'll go back to grey.



    It's like I have hit some setting/variable and I don't know how I did it because the other 10 drawings are fine. I've done recover, purge, audit, overkill. I've restarted the pc.

    Thx for any help

    Yes, posting a sample drawing would be best to help.
    It could be a few things, viewport overrides, "xrefoverride" set to 1, plotstyle maybe?

    would be good to see what you're seeing.

    Is this when viewing the drawing in a layout? If so, you may have "Display Plot Styles" checked on in the PageSetup.

    Well, I'm in Model Space...so this SHOULDN'T be an issue.

    For the time being, I've just re-did the linework and text - it was only a couple of things, but why only the 1 file?


    Thanks for the help.

    Hi
    Several years ago about 2007 I think I had an entire dwg go grey scale tried everything I could think of sent it to a couple different CAD support techs no one ever figured out what happened. Lucky we had a back up that was just fine.

    When you look at the “STYLIZATION” option, it was ON. But when you turn off, voila!.



    Command: MAPDISPLAYMANAGER

    Display Manager [?/Load/Update/Stylization/eXit] <eXit> :U

    Updating...

    Display Manager [?/Load/Update/Stylization/eXit] <eXit> :U

    Updating...

    Display Manager [?/Load/Update/Stylization/eXit] <eXit> :S

    Stylization [On/oFf] <On> : F

    Display Manager [?/Load/Update/Stylization/eXit] <eXit> :Regenerating model.

    So frustrating...but finally.

    Thank you, this brought back the colors for me in Modelspace. I was updating some old blocks and I went into a grayscale on certain items when I brought in other drawings. Thank you, gisdude, for posting a solution.
