---------------
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.
