Problem with ColorSettings/ColorMode in PDF export

Post by spatz » Tue Mar 03, 2015 9:18 pm

Hello,

System: QCAD 3.7.4 and 3.8.1 downloaded as zip/tar.gz archive on Linux Mint Debian and Windows 7.

I wrote a script for batch export PDF from AutoCAD drawing files (AC1009). The script file is located under "../scripts/Misc/Examples/IOExamples/BatchCreatePDF/". Everything is working fine except that the row

Code: Select all

doc.setVariable("ColorSettings/ColorMode", "BlackWhite");
doesn't seem to have an effect. The output PDF file is the same as in "GrayScale" mode. "FullColor" mode works as expected.

Is there something wrong with my code or is it a bug?

Regards
Stephan

Can you try setting it on the view instead?
view.setColorMode(RGraphicsView.BlackWhite);

Hello Andrew,

thank you for the reply. I've just added your code line and commented the other out. Now it works as intended at least for qcad 3.8.1 on windows 7 which is the only one I could test for now.

Thank you!
Stephan
