When printing a framing plan, the background (foundation plan) comes through too dark.
This seems to be an anomaly for I have followed all previous steps without the same outcome.
I do have the print fenced inside a Title Block. In the "view attributes" I have "Level Overrides"
selected. The print attributes or general settings i have selected "greyscale" opposed to 'true color'
and 'monochrome' (monochrome, the background is even darker). The foundation plan
(thats coming thru too dark) is actually a copy from a reference (wouldn't think that would make
a difference). Any Suggestion Will Be Greatly Appreciated. Thank You, JB
This really should be posted to the printing forum but never mind
What version of mstn are you using, are you using sheet models or just modelspace?
can you supply a small dgn example.. what work flow is your printing ie msnt to pdf.pltcfg pdf to paper or just view pdf on screen
when you say overrides are you applying a specific colour override through the level manager?
I print dialog settings have you enabled to allow overrides or are you just telling the print to make everything grey scale?
Do you use a pentable to resymbolise the colours and lineweights on plans?
There are a lot of factors that affect the outcome...

When you say "too dark" do you means that the lines are too heavy? That things that should print grey are printing black? We need a screenshot at the very least.
What are your level overrides controlling? Color, Lineweight, some other property?
Is your "background" a drawing file or an image?
What plot CFG files, pen tables and design scripts are you using to print?
Monochrome is black and white, so if you want any shades of grey, that won't work.
If this is only one drawing, what is different between this one and one that prints properly?
What version of V8i are you using? There have been several, and a couple of them have had issues with certain elements printing.
