Adding color highlights

[Steve1980]

I need to show yellow highlights of some areas on a 2D black & white drawing. What is the best way of doing it?

Thanks.

Do you use CTB files to print?

you could hatch a rectangle or whatever shape you want around the objects and select the color of the highlight that you want to use. you'll probably have to set the draworder to back of the objects you are highlighting. does this help?

Be careful using yellow it is a funny colour on white bright paper if you have skinny shading you may want to use one of the shades of yellow.

 

We use 1-9 as black and white, 10-250 as colours makes the ctb set up easy just use their default colour so shading yellow use 50.

Another words, I'll need to use solid hatch pattern assigned to yellow color, which will be turned to non-grayscale in the ctb plot style table editor? Is that correct way?

Just set your colour in the ctb as "use object colour" for each colour number you can pick lots in one go to set hold shift etc if they are not by colour
