same autocad index color varies between model and layout

Anonymous — Wed, 13 Jun 2018 15:13:19 GMT

I would like to know why, most of the colors of autocad (aci) vary their appearance on the screen,
when shown on black background in model tab, compared to how they are shown with a white background in the layout.
For example, color 36 is much darker in the layout than in the model.
This causes the problem that when printing on paper or in PDF, the color comes out as it was in the model,
but not as the client saw it in the layout.
True colors are not affected by this problem.

Hi @Anonymous,

I apologize for my delayed response as I just found your post.

I have been able to duplicate this behavior on my AutoCAD too. I have logged this in the past with the team and I encourage you to contact the product team directly. If you have additional comments specific to the software or its functionality for future consideration, please use the Product Feedback page. How to provide feedback on Autodesk products goes into more detail.

Another great option is to participate in the AutoCAD Customer Council. This is an opportunity for our customers to partner with the AutoCAD development team to improve future releases of AutoCAD by giving continuous feedback on ideas, designs, and early builds.
In order to get involved email autocad.beta@autodesk.com or autocad.lt.council@autodesk.com
