Black solid fill disappears at sheet layer viewports w/black & white option

[George Cocea]

I would like to find out is this is a bug or some sort of file and/or

system corruption at my end. When I selected the black and white

option in sheet layer viewports under advanced properties, certain objects

lost the black fill. The objects that still showed a black fill are reference

marker pio (i.e. section, elevation). I doubled check the color used

and it did mention "black" for the objects that did not display the solid fill.

As expected behavior.

An object with a White Fill (First box on color chart) shows white in B/W Only.

An object with a Black Fill (second box on color chart( shows black in B/W Only.

An object with any other fill shows white in B/W Only.

I ran into this too. Didn't feel much like expected behavior to me. I mean, I filled the thing in black and, last I checked, the mode is called "BLACK and white."

I submitted a bug for it and I think that they might have actually changed something in SP2 R2 because my section markers mysteriously started showing up filled in black after the update.

I also discovered in the mean time that if I changed from the black in the "standard" color palette to the black in the "classic" color palette, things worked just fine.

Thank you for the tip Bill.

There seems to be some sort of bug though I am not able to label it as such

with the color behavior when sheet layer viewport black and white only setting.

An example, a switch pio with red color (pen setting not fill this time)

in model layer, will only show the outline in the viewport.
