Grey Lines in MicroStation - Creating & Printing?

You can use any colour to set greyscale for printing, but you must set the coliur used for greyscale in the plot file and it's rgb value. An example line is: pen (10)=(14,254)/RGB=(200,200,200) ;grey. 14,254 are the 2 colours in the colour table we have used to have a grey rgb of 200,200,200. HTH.

Thanks for the input Bear..

But I might need a "How too" or instructions if anyone can help..

If you give me a bit more info I'll write it out. What colour would you like to use for greyscale printing?

One more thing, which plot file are you using?

I prefer to use Level symbology overides use two views one with it on and the other with it off

then you use the level manager to alter the appearance of colours etc via the  levels those objects appear on 

also I prefer to use printer.plt as it acesses all the network printers and allows you to scale etc via paper sizes and  I like wysiwig printing ... pentalbes and custom printers are bit tricky for a newbee...

 look at the  steps marked 1 to 4 in the attached picture

Step 1 control b  and turn on Level symbology  for the views you want to change 

Step 2  Select the level manager 

Step 3 turn on the level overides toggle from bylevel to overrides..

Step 4 choose the colour for the level you want to override ie my example  only on 1 level I have imposed a  red override

If you do all the above it can be applied to all levls or just some  it acan also apply to Refernced files too ...take a look at the tutorial at the link below too.. it deals more with the Bylevel symbology but its trhe same principals
