I've seen several discussion and no solutions, so maybe I'm missing one. But I've dealt with this before, a copy of a block will show up in gray. Solution to this has always been to simply explode the copied blocks to get back to a standard line color. This seems dumb. I'm having to work on a drawing now that is going to have a whole lot of copied blocks. (yes, it has to be a SW drawing because reasons) They currently come in gray:

And the icing on the cake? They show up bright red when saving as a pdf.

I know I can insert a new block for each symbol and they'll remain black.

I know I could be using another 2D editor program to make my life easier.

While I'm curious as to why any user would want this or why SW would think this is a feature anyone would want. I'd really just like to know if there is a setting somewhere I am missing or a checkbox "Turn copied Blocks gray for some reason" ?
