I think class overrides in viewports should be the exception, not the rule. Here is a table of how the different fillings and lines behave. However, this has the disadvantage that the background shines through. Opaque surfaces are also exported grey in black and white mode. Another possibility to export colored areas in gray is to vary the opacity. The whole thing is a bit strange, probably from the days of pen plotters.
AUTOCAD PRINTING GRAYSCALE PDF
If you use completely black dots, a gray area (without small dots) will result from the PDF export. When exporting, the colored dots are scaled so small that you can only see the individual dots when zooming in.
These dots can only be seen in Vectorworks. If you now want a gray area (or a color which should become gray), you can use dot patterns. Grey lines become black, grey fillings white. The problem is that this really means that black becomes all black and white all white. When exporting, we set it to black&white. We also use colors for the different materials in our plans. Nevertheless you sometimes would like to have your linestyles coded in colors when drawing. I use a lot of colour in my drawings and I always export my drawings to pdf in colour, however I also choose colours (and line weights) that print well in b&w as construction drawings are usually printed in b&w. This isn't necessary in VW as you can set line weights independently of colour. I'm wondering why you want to work with colour then publish to b&w? Are you coming from an autocad background? From my memory of using autocad colour is used to set line weights. They will appear black/grey just in that vp.Īlso I understand vw2019 has an image effects capability that allows image effect adjustment of objects, images, viewports etc incl converting them to black and white. Then in your vp class settings you can select the classes and override their attributes to black/grey. If you want to try class overrides you need to have your object colour attributes set to by-class. I think this is in the oip advanced settings or perhaps the oip render settings. As mentioned above you can adjust the vp settings to b&w.
