    LAYER MONOCHROME IN LAYOUT PROBLEM

    I imported a drawing made in Autocad MEP with default layers. When I want to print in monochrome, I can't...

     

    I already went in Page setup manager to put monochrome in the dropdown menu at the top right of it. And now, when I want to print and click preview, everything stays in their layer color and do not change only in black!!

     

    Can someone help me with this?

     

    Just to you know, I tried to put everything in the layer"0" and nothing works...

    Do you have "plot with plot styles" checked in the Plot box?

    And when I click on "Display plot style", only  things that are not in the viewport are now monochrmoe but things in the viewport are keepind their layer color...

     

    I tried with an other drawing and everything works properly!!

    Hi,

     

    change the visual style in the viewport to "2D-Wireframe".

    Hi,

     

    >> It was already 2D WIREFRAME...

    Not the drawing you uploaded. And there I changed the visual style and saw also the content of the viewport in b/w.
