Notes on using ColorID from Composer
Now that you understand the basics of opening and using ColorID from Composer, here is
some information to refine and clarify the procedure:
♦ Matching vinyl colors in Composer is the same procedure.
♦ When you assign a vinyl matching color from ColorID, that material and color
becomes the current vinyl color in Composer and all new shapes use that vinyl. You
must assign the color immediately to an object or the object will not be filled with the
matching color.
♦ If your original Select Palette choice in the Assign Colors dialog box was Spectratone
and you choose a GerberColor series foil for the match, the Assign Colors dialog box
automatically displays the spot fill palette selections.
♦ When using process fills, EDGE Match choices are from the EDGE Match charts.
♦ If you have linear or radial fills, when you Click ColorID in the Assign Colors dialog
box, you have the choice of matching color A or color B.
