As for sheet color -- Document/Options you can edit colors (or since AD18, Properties panel/dialog with nothing selected). :-+

I could have sworn it was already set to white there! I'll have to look again when I'm back in the lab on Tuesday.

I really need to look into those.

Nope, that's not the same thing. I'm not looking for monochrome or grayscale output.


--- Quote from: PlainName on January 15, 2023, 12:02:53 am ---The page setup solution just switches to mono output, which is no doubt the desired result for some purpose. However, keeping the object colours and just making the background white is often preferable.

Exactly!

You may need to set it for existing pages seperately (properties). I had quite a fight with Altium to change the text font to something that is readable when printed small; I needed to modify many objects seperately even after setting the default font.

I hear you. It's maddening how many places there are where the font must be changed. (Not to mention when footprints manually override the defaults...)
