How to make Bing Imagery Black and White

[emgerecke]

I can't find how to make the bing imagery available in AutoCAD appear black and white. I have a client that requires monochrome aerials for conceptual designs and I can't figure out how to make a raster image black and white while still having colored lines and text in a drawing.

I assume you can't achieve this by adjusting Fade, Brightness and Contrast. Please let me know if this is possible to do in AutoCAD.

Hello @emgerecke, 

There is no option to change the images filters in AutoCAD, you should use another application like Windows 10 "Photos" or another photo editing software application. 

Otherwise, you will have to create a custom plot style ctb file etc.

You can't change the base map. However, you can clip the layer to the area you need, saving the resulting image to jpg. See this thread for suggestions on how to do this. Once you have a raster image, you can use Raster Design to change its color depth to grayscale with the IDEPTH command.
