Details

--------------- 
Need to export a color drawing as monochrome in DXF or DWG format. By default, 
there is no user option to get a monochrome AutoCAD file format from a NX 
drawing.



Solution

 - Create a text file called "colormap.txt", for example. 
- Define a color mapping for all 216 base colors in this file as below : 
export : 1 = 7 
export : 2 = 7 
export : 3 = 7 
... 
export : 216 = 7 
- Copy "%UGII_BASE_DIR%\DXFDWG\dxfdwg.def" to "dxfdwg_monochrome.def" file in a 
personal folder. 
- Open "dxfdwg_monochrome.def" in a text editor 
- Add the following parameter (adapt file pathname to suit actual location) : 
COLOR_MAPPING_FILENAME=D:\users\xxxxxx\Documents\colormap.txt 
- In NX File/Export/AutoCAD DXF/DWG dialog, select Load Settings and select 
your "dxfdwg_monochrome.def" file before processing.
