    To start off, I'm a computer person, not a CAD person. Our draftsman
    quit and I need to plot some drawings but am having a problem. Some of
    the drawings have a lot of yellow on them, which doesn't show up very
    well when plotted on white paper. I've tried plotting using grayscale,
    but the yellow just shows up as a very faint gray. I've found the
    layers screen and changed the color for the all layers that show as
    yellow to black, but some of them still show up as yellow. Is there a
    simple way to tell Autocad LT to plot everything in black? Also, is
    there a way to have the drawing on the screen with a white background
    instead of a black one? Thanks for any help.

    Tersely worded but sufficient to point me in the right direction.

    Thanks

    Chances are there is already a pen setting in the computer somewhere
    that the previous cad person set up. Your problem will be in finding
    it.

    Plot dialogue, Plot Device tab, set Plot Style Table to monochrome.ctb

    That should do it.

    HTH,
