Error with white font on black background

Anonymous — Wed, 22 Jan 2020 12:17:04 GMT

If i, for some reason, wants a white font and put it in on a black region.

Then the text will still appear as black.

This is of course an error, that i still dont understand.

However, i got a workaround.

If you adjust the fontcolor to 254,255,255 instead of 255,255,255

Then it will be shown as white color, instead of black.

I would like Autodesk to take a look at this.

I have tried in Revit 2015, 2016 and 2019.2

Best regards.

It's not an error. Color 7 in AutoCAD is actually white and black and will switch with black and white background colors.

If i print the drawings

The font is still black on a black background.

Happy to hear that it works out in AutoCad.

But it seems like its not the same in Revit.

I thought I was in the AutoCAD forum when I posted that response, sorry, but I still think that this is as designed.

In our printing world it is understood that we will be printing on a white piece of paper. For most printing tasks that means that white does not print while something very close to white will actually print.
