D 9.5.2 Color conversion of AutoCAD files
In order to map AutoCad colors to Freelance 2000 colors a color conversion table—which can,
if necessary, be changed—is entered in the Windows registry editor under the
[ACADCOLORS] entry.
If no such entry exists, a standard conversion table is used which assigns only the AutoCAD
color numbers 1-8 to the corresponding DMF color numbers. In this case, the DMF color black
is assigned to the AutoCAD colors number 9 to 255.
Whether the [ACADCOLORS] entry is used, depends on whether the color setting in the main
menu of DigiTool Options / Color table /is set to Compatible (to Version 2) or Standard (new
color table for Version 3.3).
The conversion tables consist of two components. The first, Table Entries, denotes the
number of color assignment entries to follow in the conversion table. The color assignment
entries have the following format:
colxx=lacadcolor,hacadcolor,dmfcolor
where:
xx
lacadcolor
hacadcolor
dmfcolor
The following must be noted when changing the color assignment entries:
The index indicated by xx must be smaller than the value specified in the TableEntries entry. A
color assignment table is always generated with TableEntries entries. lacadcolor must be
smaller or equal to hacadcolor, and they must be in the range between 0 and 255.
Overlapping ranges should be avoided. The DMF color numbers supported are shown on page
D-98, Appendix - Color Tables.
