Block colour in viewports

Anonymous
Not applicable

I have a layout with 2 different viewports which show the same layers. I have to print the same objects and layers on viewports in different colours. I do that by changing VP layer colour. But I have a problem with blocks. The object in block is drawn in Layer 0 and most of the lines have their colour set to ByLayer, but I also have a hatch which is set to for example blue color inside the block. Is there a way that I can override this blue colour in block to selected VP Layer Colour for only one of the viewports?
I hope I didn't write my question too confusing.

Hi,

 

>> which is set to for example blue color inside the block. Is there

>> a way that I can override this blue colour in block to selected

>> VP Layer Colour

The entities inside a block have to be

on layer 0 and color =byLayer or =byBlock

on any layer and color = byBlock

In these cases you can use VP-Color assigned to the blockreference so this entity will use the override-color.

 

If an entity inside a block as a color-index (1 to 255) or a truecolor value assigned you can't use VP-Color to overwrite this.
