Found the fix. I guess I should have done some more searching before I posted. FYI, the command that fixed it was PICKFIRST with the variable set to 1. Thanks

I need some helpful advice on this one. When I pick an object in AutoCAD 2004 it doesn't give me that objects info (ie. layer, linetype, etc.) It just shows the current layer and settings. I don't know what I would have done to make it do this. Any ideas? Thanks, Brad

GREAT! That fixed it. Thanks a lot for the assistance. Brad

I have never had this problem before. I'm sure it's something I'm overlooking. I have a set of files that when I switch from model space into paper space everything is in grayscale. Model space shows the colors correct, but paperspace almost looks like it is showing me a plot preview. Any...

I started using the AutoCAD drivers rather than the Windows drivers and that has fixed the problem for me.

Ok, we'll give that a try. Thanks again.

Are you talking about the Heidi drivers? I did install those and it did help, but right before it lets me install them it pops up a warning and says AutoCAD recomends the use of HPGL/2 drivers for my HP plotter instead of the Heidi drivers. I may go ahead and use them like you are suggesting...

I point it to a system printer. I did it the same on both computers.

UPDATE: The reinstall didn't correct it. I have come to the conclusion that it may not be an AutoCAD issue at all. If anyone has any more ideas I would greatly appreciate them. Thank you

Thanks for the info on the service pack. Unfortunately that didn't correct the problem. I think I may just completely uninstall AutoCAD and delete any files that the uninstall doesn't, and reinstall. I will post my results later today.

Yes, I've done that too. Twice... I also just downloaded the latest drivers from HP and installed them again.

Yes, I even went as far as completely reinstalling the printer drivers on both machines.

Exxit, Thanks so much for the info. Unfortunately that didn't fix it. I don't think it is a variable in the drawing since it prints fine from one computer but not the other. Do you know of a system variable that could have been inadvertantly changed on one machine, and not the other?

No, I am not working with Xrefs. Layer 0 is set to pen # 7. Really I am having problems with the background colors. I am using color #251 as my background. One of the PC's looks fine, but the other prints it so light you can hardly see it. Everything that is 7(black) looks the same. I...

We have an HP 750C+, and two CAD stations both running AutoCAD 2004. We recently started having a problem with the plots from both computers matching in light weights. One computer prints the drawings much lighter than the other. Both computers are using the same line weights (I went through...
