Printing Issues

If you set your printing to monochrome, then your contours will not be grey.

I use a pen table to resymbolize my plots so that I can control what is black, what is grey and what might be color.

What color is that single red line? Is it Bylevel, or set for just that element? What is the actual color (Index, named, or RGB)?

This is a fast reply, but I added the PEN table to my preferences and the red line still appears and my contour lines are still black. (I had to pick monochrome again to make the lines black and white.) What would you look at to correct the issue of not being able to make the contour lines grayscale and make color lines become gray or black?

Here is a pen table that maps all of the standard MicroStation Index colors (0-254) to black, except for colors 223-226 which print to different shades of grey. This way, every regular color prints black unless it is a special color to print grey, and we can use RGB colors if we actually need anything to print in color. We print with using the True Color option (instead of monochrome or grayscale).

Since you blanked over the color of your red line, I cannot tell what color (aside from some kind of red) it is so there's no way to troubleshoot that. If it's a color from a color book, it may not respond to your printing in monochrome.
