Colour

Each element in a data base may be assigned to a colour number from 1 to 255.

When a CAD file is created from the data base, the colour number specifies which colour will be used to plot the element.

Any of a number of colours may be assigned to each colour number making the colour display of the data base user definable. Use the Configure/Colour command in the Utilities task to assign a particular colour to each colour number.

Refer also to the Display Features command dialog box. The "Use Colour Number" option in that dialog box needs to be selected for each element in the data base to be displayed in its set attribute colour number. Otherwise objects will be displayed according to object colours set in the Configure/Colour command.
