How to print in grayscale and monochrome

Hello,

I have a question regarding printing setting for a drawing.

I am trying to print a drawing just like this:

I tried making the background on a single level and color (level-1 and color 128), what is printed in grayscale in the example.

What is the interest in the drawing is the objects left in monochrome.

How do i make the setting to achieve the example ? Tried some setting in pen table but with no effect.

Thank you,

  • The easiest is to remap the color numbers to actual print colors in the pen table:
    For example the color 128 you use for the background drawing remap it to grey.
    Then the other levels (the interest of the drawing) you can remap the colors to black.

    How did you try to add this to your pen table?

  • The problem with a pentable it it is NEVER WYSISYG

    Control reference files (background) with your level overrides to wt =0, co=grey, trans even at 50% if needed
    Then your original drawings stays as you drew it.
    Pentables only exist as Autocad could not draw by weight for many many years.

    Now it can - so draw things right the first time, use parts to control and correct weights quickly
    And use the power of presentation you have with reference files and level controls
