It's a simple matter to
draw in any of 255 colors available to you in IntelliCAD's drawing windows. But how will
those colors plot on your printer? Many
users take advantage of the wide and affordable availability of color printers to help
their CAD drawings communicate more effectively.
Jess Stryker, landscape architect and Design Drawing
reader, recognized long ago that what you see is not always what you get when using a wide
variety of drawing colors. In his business of landscape and irrigation design, colors are
an important part of the overall communication potential of IntellCAD drawings. Predicting
how colors will look on the final plot is a risky business.
Jess has created an IntelliCAD drawing that indexes
all the available entity colors. By plotting this drawing to different printer and even
using diferent Windows drivers, you can generate a hardcopy record of how colors will come
out on paper - before making decisions on your drawing.
This color index chart helps determine how your
printer will interpret IntelliCAD entity colors.
Jess has generously placed his color index chart in
the public domain and provided the DWG file for wide distribution via Design Drawing.
Download either the DWG file or the ZIPed version.
