• by using the Default option in Configuration DXF/DWG Output

    when i open the drawing in Autocad and select the Layer Properties, all the layers as per zone are displayed but all are showing color white in layer properties window

    but on the Drawing Area the Zones are having Colour as specified in the Rule libraries.


    how to show the same color in the Layer Properties as well against the Layer Name.
  • In AUTOCAD, command APPLOAD and select all *.lsp files in folder C:\AVEVA\Plant\PDMS12.1.SP4\AutoDraftACAD, click Load Load LOAD.....
    Then back to graphic view and select all item in your drawing and type PDMS_COLOR so macro will set up color for all layer as setup in pdms.
    Hope this help.
  • Thanks for the reply
    I know this method is applicable only for standard dxf out, but Im using [COLOR=#333333]Configurable DXF/DWG Output. I hope this is something related style library in draft.[/COLOR]
  • You are right udayr , the method specified is for Standard DXF out.  In this method the colour comes correct but then the Layer names are not as per the Zone Names. It appears as GT-1, GT-2 and so on

    Configurable gives the Layer names as name of Zone but colours are white.

    Style libraries are maintained as per Zone and this gives correct result on the drawing Area even in AutoCAD.  Only issue is on Layer properties window
