Hi Glooman
Try this:

1.Go to print preview first - Main menu > File > Print preview
select print preview.png
select print preview.png (16.46 KiB) Viewed 3737 times
2.Select 'Full Colour Mode'
select full colour mode.png
select full colour mode.png (17.27 KiB) Viewed 3737 times
Let us know if this does the trick.
For the best support please state your operating system, QCAD version and add any supporting DXF/DWG files, screenshots etc...

Thank you for your response.
It doesn't work.
Here you have a capture with the version we bought:

*** sorry but can't paste the graphic capture (don't know why) ***

ok we bought the Qt version 5.5.1 x86_64 version 3.15.5.0 (3.15.5)

and the fact is that when we enter in File>Print Preview, we get a drawing image in color but, when I press the button PRINT or PDF the drawing turns B/W. If I press Store in PDF anyway. the PDF is also generated in B/W.
so....
Help!

You can use the "Upload attachement" feature below to attach images, drawing files, etc.
