    Default Sheet Layouts Displayed in Grayscale

    Ok, another simple-fix problem (I think): I have several sheets in my Project Navigator that all of a sudden decided they wanted to show up as black & white grayscale, even though the lines, objects, text, etc. in the drawing have colors assigned to them. It is only grayscale on the layout tab, since when I switch to the Model tab, everything is colorful again. It's not just the viewport on the sheet that turns to grayscale, it's the entire title block, notes, everything. I have the plot style set to monochrome, but I've never had it turn the sheet layout to monochrome as well. It appears that everything will still plot correctly, it'd just be nice to have my color back.

    Any ideas?

    Hi Brad,

    My guess, Go to Page Setup and uncheck Display Plot Styles (Right hand corner near the Plot Style table pulldown)

    Hope this helps,

    Some see the glass as half full, others as half empty. As an engineer I see the glass as twice as big as it needs to be. ~Unknown~

    Right again Scott, I figured it'd be something simple that I was overlooking.

    Thanks!

    Hi
    I'm having the same problem except my title panel is showing in colour below my viewport. I have unchecked the display plot styles box but it doesn't make any difference. The problem has occured when I recently bought a new printer HP designjet T120.
    The final plot appears in colour, paperspace and modelspace in colour but frustratingly the print preview within the viewport remains in greyscale.
    HELP!!
