printing in B&W

[Anonymous]

Hello.
I have a question. I have a plan which I drew using multiple colour lines. I would like to print black and white, everything with one exception - the red lines. Is that possible? How?
Thank you.

make changes to the pen set, and when you store it, give it a new name.

Subsequently when you make changes, click store and overwrite your new pen set.

It wouldn't be hard to do this. I would assign all pens black, except for the red pen, which I would keep as it is. However, my issue lies in the fact that afterwards I can't go back to all the original colours the pens have right now. How do I solve this?

Just switch back to the old pen set.

Pen sets can be saved as part of the view. Pen sets can also be assigned to placed layouts. Change the pen set in the placed layout.

Quick Options is also a great way to quickly switch between pen sets.

OK. I edited the current pen set and it looks like this. The problem now is that all windows, hatches and objects have been filled and all look solid black.

change pen number 91 back to white. That should fix it. Otherwise figure out what your white pen was and change that back.

Looks like you're using the international pens, so it's pen number 19 that needs to stay white.
