AC 21 Fill Problems

So, I am having problem with drafting fills in my Layout Book. I used some white fills to cover up some lines. In the View Map, everything looks like it is supposed to. When I go to my sheets in the Layout Book, the white fills turn to a grey.

I looked at the same Interior Elevations in AC20 and there is no problem, but when I look at these Interior Elevations, the white drafting fills are a grey. They cannot be grey.

I tried to solve this problem myself and I've gotten an answer... somewhat.
The answer is... go to the Renovation Filter Options > Annotation Elements > CHECK THE BOX "Do not Override Drafting Fills/Lines.

So far, that is the only way I can correct the issue. Unfortunately, when I compare these settings to the correct AC20 file, this check box is not checked. So, I'm worried that changing this setting could mess something up somewhere else in the file.

SO, does anyone have a better answer or does anyone know of any consequences from checking that box?

You might need to update your profile signature as well - still shows version 20.
