I am trying to print the top view of a 3D object that shows the hidden lines. Even though I have a plot style that should print the lines in different values of black, it still prints the lines in color. Is there a variable or something that I can change so that it will print using my plot styles?

Hi

Have you looked at things like...

VSObscuredEdges
VSObscuredColor
VSObscuredLtype

Have a good one, Mike

Thanks Mike,

I have set the color edges and line type. I finally got it to print black, but then the lines that were supposed to be dashed were solid. I tried changing the LTscale but no luck. I have found other issues with plotting things that I have drawn in 3D. I don't know if it's a glitch in the program or if I'm just not getting it.
