    Default Change display of layer without changing layer properties

    Summary: The ability to change the display of layers to black and white without actually changing the layer properties

    Description: I would like to be able to change layer colors in AutoCAD to Black and White with a right click option in the display area of the drawing.
    We had many VoloView users at one time. In Voloview you were able to open a drawing, right click in the display and a menu came up. It had an option to change the drawing colors to Black and White with one click. You couldn't go in and change any layering options. This seems to be a feature that our field personel liked to use so that they didn't have to look at all of the layering colors. Is this a feature that could be added to Autocad?

    How Used: Having this option would allow any user/viewer, who is unfamiliar with layering options, to change the colors whithout manipulating any standards that have been set.

    Feature Affinity: Layer
