Is there a way to create an inverse plot style of the standard Grayscale.ctb plot style, where lighter colors print more black and the darker colors print more gray on white paper?
I am currently using the standard 'dark' uniform background when drafting in model space (Color 33, 40, 48). It seems to be easier on the eyes to look at a darker background and brighter line types and also helps to quickly identify contrasting layers while drafting as the different colors and line types pop more against a dark background.
To make it easier to visualize how my pages will look once printed/in paper space, I am using brighter high contrast colors for layers that need high contrast (dark when printed on white paper) and darker colors for layers that i would like to blend into the background/have less contrast (varying shades of gray when printed on white paper).
I.E. "New Construction" (High Contrast/Dark) vs "Existing Structure" (Low Contrast/Grey). If i use the Grayscale.ctb the brighter layers that make it easier to work in model space, print very light or are barley visible. This is the opposite how i would like layers to be presented once printed. (I do realize that i could print monochrome, however this defeats the purpose of using layer colors and line types together to provide a better more complete plan set).
As an example a snip of my model space would look like this...
However once printed using the Grayscale.ctb plot style the PDF and Prints would look like this...
In the PDF snip above the "New" or (N) layers show up with less contrast than the "Existing" or (E) layers. This is the opposite of what I would like to convey.
Is there a way to quickly edit the existing grayscale.ctb to be an "invertedgrayscale.ctb"? Any help on adjusting plot styles to be an inverted grayscale scale that more matches contrasts as seen in a dark themed model space would be much appreciated.
Best Regards.
