Need to plot a drawing that i have recieved and any ctb i use has no affect on the drawing. Example if i use the monochrome ctb it still plots in color.

uncheck the "scale lineweights" on your plot sreen check the "plot with plot style" section .. and use whatever ctb you want to use...

I figured it out it had to something to do with the shade and when i switched back to 2d wire frame everything was good.

the shading shouldnt make a difference if it plots color or not?

on another note, ProCAD 2008 fuckin sucks.

and so does the new AutoCAD 2008 XRef Manager.

Autocad 2008 just sucks balls altogether. I'm back to 2007.

Nothing wrong with Inventor 2009!

But I don't have to touch Autocad :D Only when plotting an old drawing. Everything is pretty much converted over from 2d autocad to Inventor. :thumbsup:

I didn't know there were so many Cad users on beyond.

I am running Autodesk Map 3D 2008 with Raster Design and Civil extensions. And of course... all my sweet lisp to make it function the way it should have off the shelf.

Any other lisp, VB or .net programmers here?

(entget (car (entsel)))!!!

AutoCAD is good if thats all you can get your hands on (afford) - its pretty much obsolete
