(ADT2005) ctb plots different colors from different machines.

Asked by PUY in AutoCAD Software

Tags: , , ,

We are using Autocad ADT (Architectural Desktop) 2005.  (yeah I know it is old but still reliable..)

We have installed 2 new machines that were built for us by an online computer shop.

the machines work fine in all respect except one.  When plotting from autocad the machines change the color of the lines from black to blue.

All the machines are reading the ctb files from the same shared directory.
All the machines are using the same profile
All the machines have the same printer drivers installed.

But for some reason when we plot from the old machine the lines come out black, but the new ones are plotting blue. (well we only have Autocad installed on the first machine. no point in installing all the software if we can not get the first one to work properly).

All the machines are using windows XP pro SP2.
Originally we believed the ctb file was corrupted, but the same file works fine from all the other machines.

Any ideas what may be causing this?
