edit sheet format line colors
(OP)
Just curious but the sheet lines when I print a sketch out are light grey (title block) but if you do an edit sheet format and the highlight a line the properties say its black, so I am stumped; Can we print title blocks and sheet format lines in black?
Thanks!
Thanks!

Depending upon the printer, the Print dialogue box should have an option to print as "black & white" only.

kinda strange or is this normal for SolidWORKS?
thanks

You have a setting that is not correct. There are several things it could be. It would help to have some files to trouble shoot for you. I suspect then it would be a matter of a couple minutes to figure out.

I recieved your file, thanks for sending it.
Right Mouse Button (RMB) and Edit Your Sheet Format, then Ctrl Select all of your lines/text and place them on your Format layer. At the moment your lines are not on the Format layer which is in your template. The layer can control your colors in your drawing for you.
What is happening is your lines are reverting to the Inactive Entities color in the System Options > Colors tab when you go back to work on the drawing sheet.
When your mouse is up in the top toolbar area, you can RMB and turn on the Layer toolbar.
Be sure to save your template to a location al your users can access when you are done.

And so everyone can know, two problems existed the one Anna helped me with and also I had the printer set to auto detect instead of black and white.
