I have a house I did a few years ago and now renovating.

For some reason the CutePDF print files have some lines in RED altho it's not set to color.

Other projects are printing in B&W just fine.

Any ideas?

[Glenn Mitchell]

So this hasn't happened to anyone?

Never seen it happen ACCIDENTALLY. Make sure all your pens are set to black in the print pen styles menu.

 

It may be something that was configured in that particular job.

Thanks Keith.

All pens are normal but there definitely is something odd about the walls.

Some of the new walls do not show up on roof mode even tho they are the same as the others.

Cheers'

Send it to tech.  I had a similar problem with a older file.  They were able to fix it for me

[Glenn Mitchell]

Good idea Tom, thanks.

Cheers

Glenn,

 

Thanks for sending the drawings to support.

 

As Keith alluded to above, items appearing in red have been assigned to Print Pen #3, which is red in your Drawing Options > Pen Setup > Configure Print Pen Styles.  Setting your PDF writer to B+W rather than color is merely a toggle between Print Pen colors and screen colors. Exporting from SoftPlan reView to PDF behaves the same way.

 

Those walls that do not appear in Roof mode have been set to Layer SPARE RM, which is only set to be visible in Drawing mode. The single line(s) you see are other drawing elements which are on a visible layer, and not in fact part of the wall.

 

These behaviors are expected and the same in both SoftPlan 2012 (drawing version) and the our current SoftPlan 2018.

Best regards,
