We change the gray level for grayed layers and classes depending on which printer we are using.
We used to be able to save the percentage of Gray as a preset in the print dialog so we could just choose the correct setup when going to a certain printer.
This has now been broken for several versions of Vectorworks, and whatever level of gray you set and save, it does not hold, and reverts to whatever it was set to before the save.
In fact, none of the checkboxes in the Vectorworks tab of the print dialog can be saved as a preset, so it is back to the dark ages where you either write down or take a screen shot of your various setups so the next time you want that print setup you can remember the settings.
Apple has built this preset functionality into the print dialog for a reason. I wonder why Vectorworks chooses to ignore it.
Presets work in v 2011, Presets are broken in v. 2012, 2013, 2014.....
