Create Pen Set for layout book - different from view map

Hello,
 
Is there a way to apply a separate pen set to the Lay out book sheet or publisher set (not using the publisher document setting)?
 
I have a pen set associated w/ the view map (sourceview) drawings that have blue text and dimensions and red structural.  When I print the final PDF set, I want the Red structural to show as RED but the blue notes to show as BLACK.  Everything else in the drawing is black and white.  - See snapshot below:
 
Thanks
Dennis

You do not have to use your working views for output views

I have working views-with different colours and layer combinations, etc. to allow easier input and editing,

in the same file i have views for contract documents(final "WYSIWYG" placed on layout sheets)

in the same file i have views for Marketing

in the same file i have views for Estimating(placed on a different layout book subset)

BIM means you can have a lot more information in a file than what you present on your layout pages, which allows for lots of differnt information to come from the same file.

if all you are doing is putting lines on a piece of paper then you should just be using ClarisCAD, lol.

i hope this helps.

P.S.

ClarisCAD was 2D drafting software for the Mac in the 1990's when autocad was not available on Mac, that what you could use instead, it had amazing input constraints like tangent circles between two arcs, and other crazy good inputs.

 

 

I have been using ArchiCAD continually since ArchiCAD 4.5
