Plotting truecolor 255,255,255

Using truecolor 255,255,255 instead of colornr. 0

Plotting with printersfiles like printer.pltcfg, pdf.pltcfg etc. the truecolor 255,255,255 is not printable.
Why and how to solve this?

Symbology Overrides is not an option

  • Hello

    255, 255, 255 should normally be 'background colour'.

     

    Normally, elements set to use the 'background colour' wouldn't show up when printed

    In the sheet, or drawings, you would normally want to set the colour to '0' White. On the Sheet (white background) it will display as black so the you can see it. This is so that you can see the lines as white in the 'modelling environment', but they will print as black on a white sheet of paper

    You couldn't use black lines on a black background (or you wouldn't be able to see them of course). So they are 'drawn' white, but the assumption is that then you will be printing on a white sheet of paper (so then they are automatically converted to black)

  • *Index* colors 0 and 7 are automatically converted from white to black when printing, if the background color is white.  *RGB* colors, including (255, 255, 255) are always printed as-is.
