Layout Colour?
« on: December 07, 2006, 06:28:35 AM »
the colours of my layouts in some of my drawings have turned white, i.e. everthing that is displayed on the screen is white (on a dark background)  when i select each item it tells me that the colours are o.k., all the layers are the colours that they should be, and everything is bylayer.  could anybody shed any light on this?

i am using AutoCAD 2002 win xp sp2

Just out of curiosity, what happens if you copy/paste to a new file?

I've had this happen a few times.

Open your Page Setup Manager, select the modify button and Uncheck the Display Plot Styles in the upper right corner of the dialog box.

Still don't know what causes it to do this in the first place though.

Here at least, its the unintended checking of the box by those that think its needed to make the plot come out correctly

When I say I've had that happen, what I meant was, I close the drawing, then open in the next day and it's white, no one touched it, it just happened.
