I guess mac should have a similar printer.</P> <P><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="Grey Print.PNG" style="width: 841px;"><img src="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/903108i3165953AAB06ADF4/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;px=999" role="button" title="Grey Print.PNG" alt="Grey Print.PNG" /></span></P> <P>The ctb file doesn't control true colors. In your example file, some of the solid hatches are in true color gradient style so you can't get grayscale color when you print them into a pdf file from AutoCAD.</P> Wed, 07 Apr 2021 02:00:08 GMT https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/autocad-for-mac-forum/some-of-my-blocks-are-printing-in-color-instead-of-grayscale/m-p/10217296#M7631 3wood 2021-04-07T02:00:08Z https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/autocad-for-mac-forum/some-of-my-blocks-are-printing-in-color-instead-of-grayscale/m-p/10217301#M7632 <P>Here is the result.</P> Wed, 07 Apr 2021 02:02:32 GMT https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/autocad-for-mac-forum/some-of-my-blocks-are-printing-in-color-instead-of-grayscale/m-p/10217301#M7632 3wood 2021-04-07T02:02:32Z https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/autocad-for-mac-forum/some-of-my-blocks-are-printing-in-color-instead-of-grayscale/m-p/10218948#M7633 Hi @Anonymous ,<BR /><BR />AutoCAD cannot convert colored gradient hatches to grayscale gradient even if the colors are index colors. So they always print in color.<BR />Don't know really is it a bug or feature....<BR /> Wed, 07 Apr 2021 14:46:23 GMT https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/autocad-for-mac-forum/some-of-my-blocks-are-printing-in-color-instead-of-grayscale/m-p/10218948#M7633 maxim_k 2021-04-07T14:46:23Z https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/autocad-for-mac-forum/some-of-my-blocks-are-printing-in-color-instead-of-grayscale/m-p/10219568#M7634 <P>Okay, thanks <span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":slightly_smiling_face:">🙂</span></P> Wed, 07 Apr 2021 18:18:34 GMT https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/autocad-for-mac-forum/some-of-my-blocks-are-printing-in-color-instead-of-grayscale/m-p/10219568#M7634 Anonymous 2021-04-07T18:18:34Z https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/autocad-for-mac-forum/some-of-my-blocks-are-printing-in-color-instead-of-grayscale/m-p/10219599#M7635 <P>I see that works for your Windows version but I tried it on my Mac and for some reason when I try to print it from the .pdf file it only gives me the option of selecting a printer.&nbsp; Thanks anyway.&nbsp; <span class="lia-unicode-emoji" title=":slightly_smiling_face:">🙂</span></P> Wed, 07 Apr 2021 18:29:39 GMT https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/autocad-for-mac-forum/some-of-my-blocks-are-printing-in-color-instead-of-grayscale/m-p/10219599#M7635 Anonymous 2021-04-07T18:29:39Z
