    i am using acad2k and want to plot in black on white. various layers
    have other colors assoiciated with them. I know if I use
    monochrome.ctb it will work but this doesn't come up on my list of
    plot styles. I am editting a file created by someone else using
    acad14. How do i either get monochrome.stb to plot black or add
    monochrome.ctb to my list of plot styles.
    TIA

    thanks for suggestions.
    Can't find command CONVERTPSTYLES in autocad2k or as a program sp?

    In the monochrome.stb table, the plotstyle NORMAL is set to use the object
    color.
    To print black and white, use the layer manager and change the plotstyle for
    all the layers to something different than NORMAL.
    You must then of course make sure that the correct color (black) is set for
    these plotstyle .

    Ben.
    ps. Make also sure that 'plot with plotstyles' is selected in the page
    setup.

    I had the same proble the other day - on one of the machines at work running
    Acad2K I told them to use CONVERTPSTYLES & it came up as unrecognised - it
    is definitely in 2000i though - Not sure if there is an easy way to do it
    without this command.

    In creating your PC3 file for your printer/plotter, choose Custom Properties
    and change from Color to Black and White
