Using colors

Allplan provides 256 colors. An element you are drawing either gets the current color or it takes the color from the current layer. For more information, see Defining format properties using layers.

When the Color stands for pen option is switched on, the color of elements is defined by their pen thickness. Thus, the color displayed on screen is not the color of the element but the color assigned to the respective pen thickness. You can assign colors to pens using ToolsDefaultsPen Thickness. Fills are always displayed using their own colors.

When printing, you can assign a color to each of Allplan's 256 basic colors in the Pen and Color Assignment dialog box (Print Layouts tool, Print profile tab, Pen and color assignments...).
For more information on color layouts, see Printing color layouts.
