White fill on Layouts

Anonymous
Not applicable
Good day, All,

My white fills are showing up as black on my layouts.
This is making my project unreadable on the screen.

When i print it prints correctly, but when viewing it, it fills all white to black, see attached.

This happened out of the blue and I am not sure how it actually happened.

I have reload my project settings and my schemes. It is not happening in any of my other files.
Does any body have any suggestions.

Check the pen settings. It may be that the background pen that is set to white in the working views is set to black in the drawings placed to the layouts.

The background fill for all my pen settings is always white and I have not changed those at all. Is there another location that pen settins show up other than the master pen setting under the option pull down.

It appears that ArchiCAD may be using the model view background color on the layout for some reason. I draft with a black background so my eyes dont age any faster than they already are. I have tried changing my drafting background back to white but it still has not changed on my layouts.
