jjatho Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 So much like there are names for Red, Yellow, Blue, etc. I want to know if I can make a custom name for a specific color. Our company logo is the color (112,0,0) and we're switching to using that color for lots of annotations and other design notes. Before we do this, is there a way to create a new named color, other than the standard 9 index colors? Basically, let's say our company name is "CraneCo"; can I make a default color called CraneCo that corresponds with (112,0,0)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dana W Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Never seen that done, don't know of any way to do it. How about a layer using color 112,0,0 and put all your text on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lrm Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 One approach is to create a custom material and give it a name. Go to the Material Editor mateditoropen and click on the create icon at the bottom left. Choose one of the listed types (e.g., Plastic) or click New Generic material. Change the default RGB values to 112,0,0 and edit the name to what you want. Open the material browser and create a material library so others can access the material.

That's the secondary plan if I can't make a new color name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGAL Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 (edited) Maybe just use "Craneco" and change a picked objects colour (defun c:craneco ( / obj) (setq obj (car (entsel))) (command "chprop" obj "" "C" "T" "112,0,0" "") ) Edited November 17, 2015 by BIGAL added obj locally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjatho Posted November 17, 2015 Author Share Posted November 17, 2015 Maybe just use "Craneco" and change a picked objects colour (defun c:craneco () (setq obj (car (entsel))) (command "chprop" obj "" "C" "T" "112,0,0" "") ) That's a pretty good option, thanks!

Dana W Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 My recommendation is to grow past changing object properties, and use definitive layers with the object properties set to By Layer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
