Now in the Page Setup dialog in the upper right change the plot style to monochrome and be sure to select the option to "display plot style" as that will make your layout display the monochrome. Now select your layout then select Modify. I used the PAGESETUP command at the AutoCAD command line or you can right-click on the Layout tab and select Page Setup Manager. In this case we want the color line work that will use the monochrome Plot Style to show as Monochrome in the Layout. The only thing not shown is the plot style you may apply to the Layout.

Here we see the drawing with a white Layout background just like paper and the color layer based lines. What we want to do is change the Layouts Plot Style to black and white which is “monochrome”, and then select the option to show the Layout with the applied plot Style just as it will plot.Ī Layout is essentially what you plot as a large preview, think of it as a piece of paper. “My background in paper space is white with color lines, I want to change the color lines to black lines, I did once but is impossible to remember how I did it.” We can also adjust some relevant parameters according to our requirements.Īs we use CTB files by default, so the corresponding plot styles will be applied automatically for the layer and the object color, and there is no need to make settings or adjustment.I received the following question today while in my hotel room in LA and wanted to write a blog post with images to make the solution more clear, and perhaps assist others with the same question. In a CTB file, some plot style parameters, such as, acad.ctb for color, may vary with color,output, but some may not, such as monochrome.ctb for black and white printing. We can see that the plot style table on the left is defined by 255 index colors, and named from Color_1 to Color_255 as shown in the layer manager, while the list on the left is the characters of plot style, namely, plot style parameters, with color and line width as the main parameters. In the dialog box, select a CTB file, and click the Edit Plot Style button to open the Plot Style Editor, as follows.ĪutoCAD uses CTB by default, which is a color-dependent plot style table. But why should we apply this parameter? Why can't the default setting be modified? When can this plot style be set according to your requirements?įirst, let's go through what the plot style is and why it can't be modified.Ĭlick the Print button to open the print dialog box.
AUTOCAD PLOT STYLE THROUGH LAYER MANAGER CODE
Neither the BYCOLOR of an object nor the plot style named by color code of the layer can be modified. In the Layer Manager, plot styles are named as the color code of layers, for instance, if the layer is color 7, the plot style will be named as Color_7, if it's red, the plot style will be Color_4, and if it's true color, such as 255,255,255, then the plot style will be named as its similar index color, Color_7, as shown in the following. Choose a straight line, and open the property panel ( CTRL+1), then you will see the plot style in the regular properties as shown in the following.īYCOLOR is the default plot style of objects. When we go further, you will find out that plot styles are not only available for layers, but also the basic property of every graphic object. In the layer manager, every layer comes with a plot style parameter. Plot style table is used to control the color, line width and other effects.
