    Default Don't print Grayed out!

    This isn't a really big thing, but something worth fixing I think. Currently, when I activate a view on a sheet, everything else on the sheet halftones. This is good so I can see what I'm working on. However, If i forget to deactivate the view and I hit print, it will print with everything half-toned. Argh.

    This should be pretty obvious and easy to catch if you're just printing the sheet you're working on, but if you're working on several sheets and have some hidden it's easy to forget to go back and deactivate all views before printing a set. It would be nice if Revit recognized that I don't want it to print that way and deactivated the view for me prior to printing.

    This same concept for goes for design options. Views should be printed non-half-toned.

    Default Re: Don't print Grayed out!

    I was just about to submit this when I found your poll.

    My suggestion is to add a check box to the print dialog box
    "Activate Views before printing"
    Default should be Checked.
    I can't imagine why, but I'm sure someone out there wants it as an option.
