Temporary fix

Comments

• "When saving a .CATDrawing document in a vector (.cgm, .svg,
  .pdf, etc.) or raster format (.tif, .jpg, etc.) through
  SmarTeam >> Save..., elements in a white color are always
  saved in a black color."
  So the option provided in CATIA viewer is generalized option
  which is not useful for CGM files.
  Still if you want to print White Vectors as White then please
  set the following Variable in CATIA Environment so it will
  create CGM file with White vectors in White.
  Variable -
  CATIA_TEAM_PDM_CGM_WVAB = FALSE or 0
  It will print White Vectors as per Value set for Variable -
  False - It will print White vectors in White
  True - Print white vectors as black.
