I am still having a problem in tryi
(OP)
I am still having a problem in trying to fill objects on dwgs. I was told to use color code 8 or 9 an then "send to back". This worked fine but only for 2 shades of grey. I want to be able to use pastel colors (pink, green, blue, yellow, etc. I havn't been able to extract the light colors from the AutoCAD color pallet. I know it must be possible as I have seen this fill used in many architectural layouts.
Can anyone help me.
Thanks,
Bigbill

RE: I am still having a problem in tryi
I dont think anyone understands what your talking about exactly!!
are you refering to hatching,3D Faces, 3D Solids, or what
cause that could determin alot on why you cant get it filled

using AutoCAD 2000 to layout and draw rooms in 2D plan view, and I want to color in or fill objects on the plan such as lab tables, sinks, etc.
RE: I am still having a problem in tryi
if yo do this and you do get a shade of grey on a color printer check the settings in your pc3 fiel or the driver itself it may be set up to print only in B&W

create a couple of differnt layers like hatch 1,2,3etc
then create how ever many solid fill hatches you need then set each one to a layer and set those layers to the pastle collor you are looking for if still not quite it then you might try playing with screening abit
if everyone helps everybody the world will be a better place
