 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. </description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 12</generator><item><title>RE: How to print in grayscale and monochrome</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/372639?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Tue, 21 Jun 2016 14:30:55 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:b4aa77cf-e66a-477e-95bb-a0e3e369699c</guid><dc:creator>mark.wilhelmsen</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;The delivered Halftone Display style can be used for this purpose.

&lt;br /&gt;
Control reference files (background) with your level overrides to wt =0, co=grey, trans even at 50% if needed&lt;br /&gt;
Then your original drawings stays as you drew it.&lt;br /&gt;
Pentables only exist as Autocad could not draw by weight for many many years.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now it can  - so draw things right the first time, use parts to control and correct weights quickly&lt;br /&gt;
And use the power of presentation you have with reference files and level controls&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: How to print in grayscale and monochrome</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/371009?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Wed, 08 Jun 2016 16:51:28 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:6217d5d0-db9e-4ffb-948c-3703a195032d</guid><dc:creator>Marc Thomas</dc:creator><description>Another scenario is if overlaying on referenced files, the Reference dialog Settings menu &amp;gt; Adjust Colors can be used to control the colours of attachments, either by turning the saturation down to achieve greyscale or applying particular hues. This can be useful both during design or when printing (including to PDF) turn on &amp;#39;Print Adjusted Colors&amp;#39; to send them to print.&lt;br /&gt;
These changes to the display of references are also stored in the active file.&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: How to print in grayscale and monochrome</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/370987?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Wed, 08 Jun 2016 14:57:46 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:0518153e-aa5a-4939-9b96-9728782096f2</guid><dc:creator>StefanC</dc:creator><description>The easiest is to remap the color numbers to actual print colors in the pen table:&lt;br /&gt;
For example the color 128 you use for the background drawing remap it to grey.&lt;br /&gt;
Then the other levels (the interest of the drawing) you can remap the colors to black.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
How did you try to add this to your pen table?&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: How to print in grayscale and monochrome</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/370977?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Wed, 08 Jun 2016 14:14:54 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:0dff528f-1776-4c3f-b451-237f4048715a</guid><dc:creator>Eric Milberger</dc:creator><description>This is pretty typical&lt;br /&gt;
I am assuming the Background drawing is your real plan that is many weights and needs now to be wt=0, co=0 or gray&lt;br /&gt;
I assume the Background is a reference file&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Simple&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ctrl-B&lt;br /&gt;
Set override ON&lt;br /&gt;
Set Transparency ON&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Go to your reference manager and set the transparency of your background to 40% or as you see fit&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Go to level manager and you select OVERRIDE from the top pulldown&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now select all levels in your ref file and set all wt=0 and CO=0 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Then plot as Grayscale&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The background will be wt=0, co=0 and will be 40% transparent&lt;br /&gt;
Every time your background is updated or replaced on the harddrive -  it will still work as all this is done in the Master Drawing and reflects what is seen.  No changes have actually been made to the background file.&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: How to print in grayscale and monochrome</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/370782?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Tue, 07 Jun 2016 14:02:56 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:385bafc3-3ae5-4622-b465-60ff85118b20</guid><dc:creator>Stefanita PLUTEANU</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/5917/3750.Capture.PNG"&gt;&lt;img src="/resized-image/__size/940x0/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/5917/4762.3750.Capture.PNG" alt=" " /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
