Guest LElkins Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Hi guys and gals, Just a quicky on the fly here. If a drawing created using full AutoCAD, with true colors used is opened in AutoCAD LT, how will the colors display/behave? Many thanks in advance for any comments. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgehog Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 True colours?... AFAIK the Modelspace colour system is exactly the same (unless you're rendering of course) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LElkins Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 If you go into color selection for layers, in autocad you get the tabs Index Color, True Color and Color Books. In LT you only have index colors. If i set a color in full cad to a true color, how would that behave when opened in LT? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgehog Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Ah yes... probably to the nearest increment... similar to reducing a photo to only 256 colours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LElkins Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Dam it. Looks like the alternative is to then use an stb file, and create a style for each possible true color, 255*255*255=16581375 .... or maybe not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just wouldn't be able to change it to another true color. Sort of like you can't attach an image in LT, but if you open a drawing created with AutoCAD that has an image attached, it's OK.

e.fenske Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 what exactly is an stb file? and how are they created? Does anyone know of a patch/extension that allows colorbooks to be used in LT 2005? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
