Often it is advantageous to print in grayscale or monochrome rather than using the element colors. When you have a color printer, you can quickly set it to print in grayscale or monochrome using the Color setting in the Print dialog. This lets you choose from:

• Monochrome — output is black and white
• Grayscale — design file colors are output as grayscale
• True Color — design file colors are used

When you choose a different output color, you can see the result in the preview window.

Setting the output color mode only affects non-raster elements in a DGN file whose view is in the wireframe display mode.
