Printing Polylines
I'm having a serious problem printing polylines. I have a HP1220C printer that I have been using as a B size plotter. In v2.0.0036, I created a series of drawings and they printed just fine. I have tried setting the color of the polylines to black or white. I have also tried setting the printcolors to black or white. If I set the color of the polylines to any other color they'll print. I've tried sending a message to tech support but haven'treceived and answer yet. Can one of you folks help me out here? Can I uninstall this "improved" version and reinstall my previous version?ThanksRon StephensonIndustrial Data Systems, inc.rcstephenson@industrialdatasystems.com

I also have a HP 1120C printer installed, and polylines do print. But I just found out something rather strange. I work on a white screen background, so if I want black lines on the screen, I have to choose color no. 7, which is white on a black screen background. Also when I print, I choose color no. 7 if I want black lines only. The color/pen width table says this is white, but I did'nt care about this message (thought it was because of my background color). But it seems this also counts when the screen background is set to black: then also you need to select color no. 7 for black print out. Is this your problem?

This seems to be the problem. However, when I implemented the settings that worked for you, they would not work. The closest I have come to a workaround is to set the screen color to 255 and the print color to 255. Then the polylines print. What i have determined is that whether they are set to white or black in any combination, they will not print. Either as color 7 or color 256. I had to correct one drawing in a 30 drawing set created with an earlier version of Icad2000 ver2.0.0036. In that version they worked just like they did in Autocad14. They printed just fine. I had just installed ver 2.2.0019 and made the corrections to this drawing. When I tried to print it, it puked on my shoes. I'd hate to have to turn a set of drawings over to a customer with one oddball in the set. There has to be a way to make this work like it used to. If not, why did Bricsnet screw with something that was working?

Have you tried the color mapping within the print command. Map a black line on the screen to print as white, which for most HP drivers is Black.
