Working with Print Style

To work with named print styles e.g. Monochrome.stb, you need to follow these steps. Please note that the named print styles needs to be configured from the beginning of your drawing. Afterwards you can only convert it to a color dependent print style via the command CONVERTPRINTSTYLES.

  • Type “OPTIONS” in the command line and press Enter.

  • In the options dialog, go to the Find field or Search Settings and type “Print Styles”.

  • Under the Default Type section, select “Use named print styles” instead of “Use color-dependent print styles”, then press OK.

  • Now, type “LAYER” in the command line.

  • Change the layer property from Normal to Style 1.

  • Select the appropriate option for printing -> PRINT or CTRL+P

  • Click OK to finish.
