Hatch Background Color in a DXF file

Anonymous — Mon, 02 May 2011 09:12:18 GMT

Hi, I'm developing a C# project that exports drawings to DXF. I have almost finished it, but I cannot figure out how to set the background color of a Hatch entity. As I see in some sample DXF files, the background color looks like:

1001

HATCHBACKGROUNDCOLOR

1071

-1023410174

So it's some kind of extended data and the number "-1023410174" corresponds to yellow background color. But how is it calculated? I'll be very gratefuul if someone can help me with this 🙂

Best Regards,

Pavel
