Have you inadvertently checked "all colors to black"

mike,

I looked into that also...no go...still coming out black...here what I am trying to accomplish...if I something referenced into PM....in theory I should be able to put a fill over and area and have it come out shaded that color/grey shade.....I am not looking to shade in AC...I need to shade in PM....I have tried both Amuyni PDF and Adobe PDF.....same outcome......

Which fill?

What are the PlotMaker fill display settings?

What are the fill pen settings?

What is the fill pen weight?

What is the fill background pen? Should be transparent.

Can you post screen shots of your fill settings?
