Hi everyone,
this problem is sort of tricky and hard to explain. I will do my best.
I have a drawing from a client with their colortables.
When I open their drawing and use their colortable to plot to our
Xerox 8830, only about 8 of the 255 colors will plot. I used their colortable and plotted a file with all 255 colors.
if I change to the default monochrome color table that comes with AutoCad, all the colors will print.
All the color's map to a pen that plots.
What is tricky is that we have 2 versions of plot drivers for our 8830.
one is a Non-system Driver-XESystems, Inc. XES Synergix 8830
using a xes7.hdi version 4.1.00-7.1.15.30[k015-1] this won't print.
our other driver is: Non-System Driver - Xerox Engineering Systems-XES 8830 using a xes7.hdi version 4.1.00-7.1.15.30[K015-1]
If I use their file, their colortable with the first plotter driver only 8/255 colors will plot. If I use their file, their colortable with the second plotter driver 255/255 colors will plot. If I use their file with the default monochrome.ctb file and the first plotter driver 255/255 color will print.
The file is ok. I don't know if I need to be looking at a colortable problem
or a plotter driver problem?
Thanks
Pieter
