Seamlessly Integrate Colours Between AutoCAD and 12d Model
When working with both 12d Model and AutoCAD, ensuring consistent colour coding can save time and eliminate errors during project transitions. Luckily, 12d Model has a feature that allows you to directly access AutoCAD’s entire colour palette. This ensures that colours display correctly in both platforms, maintaining design accuracy and streamlining exports.
How It Works
The colours in AutoCAD are mapped into 12d Model by adding 1000 to the AutoCAD colour number. This simple addition allows you to select the exact colour you need in 12d Model for seamless compatibility with AutoCAD.
For example:
- To use AutoCAD Colour 254 in 12d Model, input 1254 into the colour selection box.
- To use AutoCAD Colour 006, input 1006 into the colour box.
Once entered, the corresponding AutoCAD colour will display correctly in 12d Model and will also export properly back to AutoCAD.
Steps to Use AutoCAD Colours in 12d Model
- Identify the AutoCAD Colour Number: Find the colour number you want to use in AutoCAD.
- Add 1000: Add 1000 to the AutoCAD colour number.
- Example: For AutoCAD Colour 42, the number becomes 1042.
- Input in 12d Model: Open the colour selection box in 12d Model and type the new number.
- Press Enter: The AutoCAD colour will now appear in your project.
Why Use This Feature?
- Consistency: Maintain accurate colour coding across platforms.
- Efficiency: Eliminate manual adjustments during export.
- Professional Results: Deliver projects with precise, predictable outcomes.
This feature is especially valuable for teams working on collaborative projects where designs frequently move between 12d Model and AutoCAD. By leveraging this integration, you can enhance productivity and ensure a polished workflow.
