Import pdf then change colors

[Anonymous]

I have Imported a pdf into my workspace, since copy and pasted the object multiple times.  I didn't think much about the object being draw with white lines since I am using the dark background for drawing.  However, when I go to print the drawing (convert drawing to .pdf), said objects still remain white on the white background of the .pdf.

I have Selected all the object and tried changing the Properties color to black, but it does not seem to transition the objects to black, they remain white. Any idea what I need to do?  The steps involved?

It's a block: so you need to change the properties of the objects inside the block to what you want like BYBLOCK or BYLAYER (you can use REFEDIT or BEDIT commands), then change the actual color of the block afterwards using Properties command.

SETBYLAYER command may help do what you wnt as well, explore how to use it in HELP and test it thoroughly first.

See your file back.
