when I print, it comes out in colour, and yellow and stuff isnt the easiest of colours to see

anyway of making it all black please??

also, im using autocad 2006.. I saved the file and went to view it in autocad 2000i but couldnt are they not compatable?

will someone with R13 or 14 be able to view it?

many thanks

 

Right, this is my 1st post! But I cud see u needed help!

Go to file & then plot style manager, click the create a new plot style wizard. Follow this an u can decide each colours line thickness & colour that it prints out at etc. Then when u print it chose your new plotstyle in the print options list. Hope this makes sense!

Dont think 2000i is compatible with 2006 tho' may be wrong. I know that 2004 created drawings will work back to release 14. altho' this wont help ya

When you do a 'save as' you should be able to select the different file types for most of the old versions of AutoCad. So from your latest version you should be able to save it as a 2000 version.

thanks alot lads and welcome to the site

1 more Dado trunking.. need a dotted line.. how do I go about putting that on please?

 

Select the line you want to make dotted then on the properties toolbar the centre box is linetype you need to click on other to load additional line types (i.e. dotted).

Then select the line you want again and scroll down to the dotted line.

If the line does not appear dotted you may need to adjust the linetype scale. This can either be done by typing 'LTSCALE' at the bottom or in Modify Properties.

 

cheers

but i try to change line type and there is no "other" bit.. it does have other syles as in illustrations, inc. dotted.. but i get stuck

 

Oi westy, stop using autocad if ya dont know how to do it!!
