Hmmm, might just be easier to use another surface for the presentation drawings and then revert back to default settings for the working drawings at this stage...
Yep.
If you want to constantly change between presentation and working drawing styles in the same file you can save duplicate copies of the surface attributes.
Just the ones you want to change - you don't need to save them all.
Set up the surfaces with the fills for presentation and export those attributes to an external file called something like "surfaces - presentation".
Do the same surfaces without the fills and save them as "surfaces - working drawings".
Now you can use the Attribute Manager to 'override by index number' to which ever ones you want.
And if you are using a standard template and all your files are based on the same attributes - you can do this for any file.
It is not really all that different from just amending the fills in the surfaces but if you are disciplined and have the same attributes in all of your files, then this can work well.
