I am developing demolition drawings for several relay protection cabinets for the power generation company I work at. This involves a print with the section to be demo'd, clouded and hatched. The cloud and hatch should be green, specifically color index [130]. Everything else is monochrome.
I am aware that mapping that specific design index color to RGB 0,130,0 achieves this exact outcome. However at points, there are designs that contain other elements outside of the cloud and hatch that use this same color. I am also aware that using level overrides can mitigate the other elements from printing in this color while the clouds still do.
However, I am almost certain this is a bug of some sort as I am unclear as to why the pen table would not be able to output the correct color for a specific element based on selection criteria and output actions defined in the pen table.
The follow pen table is used:
I have mapped pen colors form driver configuration file
Element Selection Criteria: Level: CLOUDS
Element Output Actions: Color: Index [130]
Print is set to: PDF, True Color
The print preview shows everything in black and white...
Is there another setting within the design file that is overriding the pen table? The aforementioned workarounds output the correct color while everything else is monochrome as needed as long as there are no other elements that color in the design file. Why does this not work??
