Blueprint look for printing

[davidn5253]

Any suggestions as to how I could convert an existing plan so that it would print in the "old style" blue background with white lines?

Never Tried it but maybe an Annotation Set where all Line Styles are White and sending to a Layout Page with a Blue Background ? if you need it to Scale etc , Otherwise you can change the Background in CA Plan View and Print the Current Screen.

 

Perhaps use an Image of the blue from a "BluePrint" as a background ?

This^^^

 

Although, I think you'll have a bit of cleanup to do in order to remove fills from text, text boxes, callouts, etc. , and to change the color of items to white that aren't set to be controlled by layer.

Thanks for your replies.  I tried using layout with a blue background image and I think that would eventually work with a lot of tweaking.  I finally tried opening a PDF of the file in Corel Draw, then selecting all, transform, invert colors and adding a blue background. Here's a copy of the PDF blueprint.

That didn't work too badly   just doing it for a "look" with the Drawing?

Clients want a "blueprint" to frame for their old house remodel.
