Turn it on to print shapes in black & white, or off to print them in original colors.
[Print shapes on [Show Only] layers or part drawings in gray]
Enable this to print shapes on [Display Only] layers and [Display Only] part drawings in grayscale.
The gray color uses the [Color depth] setting on the [Display] page of the [Options] dialog box.
[Use Layer Print Color]
Enable this to use the print color set for the shape’s layer.
The layer print color can be set in the layer properties to [Specify Color], [Shape Color], or [Mono].
| Supplemental | |
| ▪ | The print color priority is as follows: layer print color has the highest priority, followed by grayscale printing, and then monochrome printing. If all settings—layer print color, grayscale printing, and monochrome printing—are enabled, shapes on layers with a print color set use that color. Shapes on layers without a print color are printed in grayscale if they are on [Display Only] layers; otherwise, they are printed in monochrome. |
| ▪ | For example, to print only dimensions in red and all other shapes in monochrome, enable layer print color and monochrome printing, and set the print color of the dimension layer to red. |
| ▪ | Layer print color is a feature of RootPro CAD Professional and is not available in RootPro CAD Free. |
[Print Area]
Set the area for printing.
| [Paper Area]: | Prints the paper area of the drawing. |
| [Range of All Shapes]: | Prints so that all shapes located on the drawing can be printed. |

| ▪ | When printing as an image, the pattern hatches may be printed so finely that it cannot be seen. |
