Layer Colours issue - looking for a workaround
Posted: Thu Oct 10, 2019 8:07 am
Hi All.
First question on this forum - we have recently bought QCAD pro to replace draftsight.
When we save a DWG from draftsight - the package that we use next in the BIM workflow correctly interprets all remaining lines on all layers as visible (ie. Black, on white, or vice-versa).
When we save a DWG from QCAD, the package that we use, correctly interprets all of the layer colours, and will not show the while lines, on a white background (they become visible when we select and area of the drawing in the package).
By experimentation, we know that the package will do this with all QCAD DWG drawing formats (its working as it should, but not how we need it to be)
So my how do I is quite simple - how do I change the line colour of all layers in (ideally) one command
so QCAD pro (current release), Windows 10 - package that is picking up the DWG files is EDSL TAS - we have confirmed its interpretation is correct with the thier support - which leaves us no option but to look for other ways to force this behaviour. My suspicion is that Draftsight isnt encoding the line colour in thier DWG format..
Save me from a headscratch.
Thanks
Owen
