Printing Variant schematic with mostly black and white

optimuspyne Nov 2, 2018 10:35 AM

Hello,

I'd like to have my variant schematics all black and white, except red X's through the unplaced parts. Is there a good way to do this without messing witht he colors seen white editing the schematic? I found the objects color scheme, but it doesn't seem to work on 100% of the parts.

Thanks in advance.

I'm also trying to find a way to make the strike out lines bolder, so any help on that would also be appreciated.

Not an option to make the strike out lines wider... Things that can make them look brighter is to pick very contrasting colors between the background and strike out color... Red strikes jump out pretty good on a black background... Nothing seems to jump out from a white background.

Symbols that are defined with colors other than Automatic will not be changed when colors are changed via the Setup > Settings > Display > Objects dialog.
