Color pencil apperance

I have created a 30 page 8.5 x11 booklet, using Architecure 2012, for a campus mater plan. Now our priciples want to see it in a hand sketch format. I can do the lines with the visual style sketchy but how do I get the solid hatch colors to look like color pencil? I am assuming I will need to use Photoshop but just wondering if there is something I can do in Autocad Architecture.

If you're on subscription you should have access to Autodesk Impression.  It will import autocad files and do what you want.

I downloaded Impressions 3 for Windows 7. I try to import and I get an error message saying drawing file is invalid. I have tried on other .dwg files and get the same message. Using Autocad Architecture 2012. WHat am I doing wrong?

 

Thanks

I suspect it only accepts non-AEC DWG files: -EXPORTTOAUTOCAD and try again.

Yes. I installed it and followed the "Crash on Windows 7 Hotfix" text file. My thinking now is to unistall and install the program and do the Hotfix.

Seems to work fine here with R2012.

Ok I figured it out. I had colors from the True Color palette. Impression does not accept them. I changed my colors to the Index Color palette and it worked. Thanks for all your help.
