PRINT GREY SCALE - EXCEPT A COUPLE OF LAYERS

GIS_brutha · 2025-07-02T16:40:37+00:00

There was an error rendering this rich post.

Hi all. Relative noob here. I have a single sheet that I printed from a 100 page planset that I need to edit. I printed the 1 sheet to a pdf in order to keep the file size small. I have added a couple of layers for my edits and want them printed red. However, all the planimetrics, utilities, topo I would like to print in grey scale to screen it back. Any tips or ideas on this? I noticed in the full planset that all the layers are preserved, but once to print out a single sheet, then only 1 layer is "exported" to your new file.

Thx.

Try this.
Filter for your edits.
When you go to print, select the Dim Filtered Markups box.
Should get you close to what you're looking for at least

Unfortunately this won't work. I have an printed pdf file that has a lot of linework already on it. I have MY MARKUPS on the pdf in red, but I want the underlying base to print in grey scale. The markup tab shows only what I'VE MARKED UP - nothing on the base layer from which I am trying to do some minor linework.

Predefined view of markup list
This morning, I read the latest tip and trick post with custom statuses. I edited a status, and then I created a filter which dimed out the markup once it was set. My question is, Is there a way to save a predefined view of the markups list for when I am going through revise and resubmit drawings?

Page Advance on Click
I have one user, in one PDF, when he click on the screen, the page advances. He's unable to do markups because the page keeps advancing. I've never seen the behavior and we can't replicate it. It doesn't happen to other PDFs in the same sessions and reoccurs if Bluebeam is closed and reopened.
