DynaView - Black & White

    I have recently started using the Dynaview pdf print.  I am a big fan of color and there seems to be some that dislike color.  i rather not have to change all my lines to white.  Is there a way to print the Dynaview PDF in black and white?

    When you print the PDF you can choose to print it Blac and Wbite. If you print the plot sheet you can select a print to a printer and use a pdf print driver rather than a printer, those normally have a print to Black and white option (depending on the drivers you have available) that allow you to do Black and White pdf

    We will shortly be releasing a tool that also allows you to override colors in a View Filter that pro ises an ability to change color, linestyle and lineweight of any feature shown in a view filter that has the attribute set to By Layer - this will also provide a way to map full color to Grey Scale or Black White and Red etc. If you need a Highlight color for emphasis or Magenta if you want to highlight Markups on a drawing for example - we will be showing this at next week's Power Hour

    I will take away one star and place the star back on your rating. This for taking my hopes away and then placing the hope back.   The tool coming shortly will be what I am after.  black and white and then letting some text/lines stand out in color.  This is great.  thank you Alan

    Glad to hear that I have at least one star Frank - not sure that you are

    allowed to take them away and then give them back though ....

     

    Thanks

    Did this option ever become available? I'm working in the current release 5.9 but I am unable to find this option. Probably right under my nose!

    Unfortunately not by Trimble themselves.

    Alan is working for a third party and they sell this macro with one of their packages.

    "View Filter Override"

    Use the "Advanced View Filter Settings" button (from the VF manager). If you set a color there, that will override the layer's color so lines with ByLayer color will display this color.

    Awesome, thank you. That view filter manager is a powerful tool. I need to remember to use it much more often than I do.
