Monochrome plots previewing in color when switching user profiles

I saw another user with this same problem and was wondering if anyone has a solution.

When switching profiles in a session of AutoCAD and then trying to plot a black and white dwg with a designated color table....It previews and plots in color. I have to exit autocad, come back in and then the plotting preview is black and white and back to normal.

A person in my office says this has always been the case with Autocad, but I have never experienced it with releases 2000, 2002 and 2004.

Any Help?

 

It is a bug that dates back to at least AutoCAD 2000. We just went through
it the other week with a customer. When you switch profiles and it changes
the plot styles path it will list the plot styles but the preview and the
actaul plotting routines will not use it. Explain that one. I think you
could create a shortcut and repath the shortcut and it works but don't quote
me on that. Plus it would require some custom programming to do it. Why oh
why they won't give us multiple paths like the main support directory I will
never understand. It would make everyone's life so simple. Actually it
should search the Project directory first, then drawing directory, then the
plot styles path. But that would make too much sense.
