There already is Frances, use the 'Hue' LE and drop the saturation to -100
The drawing remains an editable vector.

when the hue LE is used
all the shape will have a LE hue state
when the shapes are selected
it's color in the color panel is still the original color

sorry Steve - that does not work

removing saturation can remove completely graduated tones, rather than converting them to visible grey[scale]

and zz_young's point is also true

"Shades of grey"...Works for me for export and print.

try it...

circular fill

remove saturation....

[I have no doubt applied to a drawing you may get an 'acceptable result' - but it will not accurately reflect the original - in your example I can see areas which should be very light grey, that were very light blue, that are now white - this is what removing saturation does, right? ]

Steve - as I said, it works for me. When it doesn't work, I find another way.

the point is made, no problem
