Issue
When producing presentation drawings you can use different fill color for LD objects.
Solution
Two methods to add different color fill to objects.
Method #1
- Select desirable color from color list.
- Call HATCH command, select SOLID pattern and hatch 2D part of object.
- Select Bring to Front command from Tools>Display Order menu and select object to bring it above the hatch.
In following example you can see how to use second method for adding different color fill to objects:
Method #2
- Use layers and LDOBJECTUTIL/Add solid fill command. The fill color is layer color not entity.
- Fill Altaman fixtures with color 9 (default color). The command add "2d_FIXTURE-ldhide" layer with color 9.
- Call Layer command. Change layer name from "2d_FIXTURE-ldhide" to "2d_FIXTURE-ldhide-Altman". Change layer color with yellow.
- Fill ETC fixtures with color 9 (default color). The command add "2d_FIXTURE-ldhide" layer with color 9.
- Call Layer command. Change "2d_FIXTURE-ldhide" layer name to "2d_FIXTURE-ldhide-ETC". Change layer color to blue.
- Fill Pars fixtures with color 9 (default color). The command add "2d_FIXTURE-ldhide" layer with color 9.
- Call Layer command. Change "2d_FIXTURE-ldhide" layer name to "2d_FIXTURE-ldhide-Pars". Change layer color to red.
Note: For hiding lines when plotting or for adding solid fill to objects it must that 2d objects part contain region or faces.
