Printing SW layers in color

2D plans Layout
1

Hi all

I'm facing a pb:

I'm currently working on a wireframe mep in which the different s/sets are associated with layers (Component Line Font).

My plan is finished, only when printing in pdf and whatever the printer used (adobe pdf, free pdf or pdf creator), no way to make the colors of my different layers appear.

I would like to specify that my mep being huge, it is not possible to do "save as/pdf", because yes, usually, it works like that...

Has anyone ever encountered this problem? Would there be a setting somewhere in SW to allow color layers to be printed?

Strangely, when exporting to dwg, all the colors remain

 

Thank you in advance for your possible answers

 

Yann

Hello

You can try printing your PDF from your DWG! Is it in color?

And when you print normally, is it in color on your printer?

First thing to check:

Force color when printing (§ attached)

Then see if you are in Color Display Mode enabled or not (last icon of the "line format" menu)

@ .PL The problem with the dwg is that when exporting, I lose the different logos so...

Yes, when I print on a "real" printer the colors appear

@ Alain.ERP Indeed, you just had to force the colors in the pdf print!

But then why on the cover page, where there is no view but only a cartridge, the colors remained?? Mistère
