DWGEditor - how to print in black and white?

How to print dwg files (with color lines) in black and white only (not greyscale)?

For example yellow or red lines are printed in greyscale - almost invisible on paper...

This should be controlled by your printer's properties. Set to print black and white, you are probable set to automatic.

  Goto file->print.
  Click on the "Advanced" tab. The first drop down box is called "Print Style Table (Pen Assignments).
  Click new, enter a name, click next. Click "Print Style Table Editor..." then the properties tab.
  Click "Add Style" button, enter a name. Under "Color" drop down menu set it to black then you should be ready to rock and roll. i think.

      You can also set it to always print monochrome (black and white) for new drawings by going to Tools>Options>Printing tab and selecting the "Use color-dependent print styles" radio button then selecting the monochrome.ctb print style table.
