Question
Hi
I would like to set up my paper space so it will be seen same as plot preview (not colors but black and white). I've done it long time ago with older acad version and I don't remember now how I did it.

Answer
Hi Ewa,

Thanks for the question. Apologies for the delay answering. I have tried to find how this was done in previous versions and have not been successful in finding it. I am not sure which version of AutoCAD you are using. There is an option in the layers to display viewport colors differently than the colors that are originally assigned.

In the layer manager, the option is far to the right and is VP Color you set all layers to display as black or grey or any other color you wanted.

Hope that helps!
