This is my first time posting here so forgive me if I don't follow policy, but here is my problem.
We make Non-compliant prints for our overseas vendor when they send bad parts to show which tolerances they didn't hold. In ACAD we were able to print all of our layers as black and white except the one layer that had the corrections in red, but keep the different layer colors in the file the same. I know we can change the layer colors but I'd like to keep them the same to show differences when viewing the files on the computer.
Is there any way to do this with SolidWorks drawing files?

Maybe I wasn't clear in my first post. I have used the layers to give everything different colors, and I know that I can change all of those back to black but the one I need in color, when I want to print.
However, I want to avoid doing this every time we print this way. I suppose I could write a macro that would do this for me each time?
