Unfortunately, the color of these entities has been set to "yellow" (as a fixed color) rather than being defined by layer as is recommended.

This means that what normally would take a few clicks would now be a major effort: You'd have to change all these blocks manually.

Perhaps, you can resort to printing in black / white of greyscale instead:

Had some success with Misc .. Modify .. Set Attributes by Layer (QCAD Pro)
What also may fix the usage of Lineweight 0.00mm. :wink:
