Let me start by saying that I used AutoCAD from college until about 2.5 years ago. My office uses PowerDraft V8i and there are many things I am still unclear about.
My issue pertains to color tables. My company has a standard color table we use for all of our drawings; it contains the override settings for black and white printing as well.
Until recently I never had a problem. Over the last month or so, I'm finding that when I set up a new file and reference in the color table (or start from a seed file with the table already referenced), close the file, and open it again, the table becomes unreferenced. This is problematic, because if I re-attach the color table, all existing colors and override settings change. i then have to go and, layer by layer, change them back. Also, it sets to some sort of default layer where I can't seem to get a true black color without going through the true color dialogue.
Has anybody had any experience with this? I've asked around my company (we are small--only 25 people) and no one seems to know anything about it. I have gone through Workspace>Preferences>Reference>check /uncheck "Use Color Table". The .TBL file has not moved at all; it's still in the same folder it's been in since I started here.
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!! Keep in mind I ahave no technical background with Microstation. If you could dumb it down, I would appreciate it :)
