I am using Corel Draw mainly for technical line drawings (no fills or effects etc). I assign colors to each layer so that the various parts can be visually called out. I would like to print what I see on screen in Wireframe view, but I am failing to find any documentation that would make this possible. When I print my guidelines print as blue (if I have them print enabled) but all other layers print black.
Is there a way to accomplish this?
Thanks!

I would save a seperate file then change the actual colors of the lines to be the same color as the layer. You could use the Windows Snipping Tool to capture that view but the resolution wouldn't be that great.
Thank you very much for the reply. Unfortunately a screenshot would loose the exact scale of the drawing that I get when printing directly. I was hoping that I was overlooking something built in, rather than needing manage every object's border color. If it doesn't exist, oh well.
I think that objects print or export with their "real" colors.
Is their any reason that you would not want to change the "real" colors of the shapes? Other than it being less convenient than having them get their colors automatically based on layer?
I am using the application to model exact size of something I am going to physically make. The layer colors differentiate where I am going to drill, route, shape etc. If I wanted to mock-up the physical appearance of the object, for example with the finish applied, the "real" color would get in the way of the underlying technical drawing organization. So I was hoping to keep them as separate.
I understand if my use-case is in the minority and that is not how the application was designed. But from my stand point "Print this view" would be handy.
What worked for me was to take and change all of the lines to Hairline. Then change all of the fills to Transparent.
