Is there any way to batch convert true colours to the nearest index colour ? Lisp ? Software ? 

Since nowadays autocad drawings converted from BIM revit and darwing always use true colours which cannot be limited by the plotstyle. Changing them one by one is time-consuming. 

Any suggestion ? 

Thank you for your attention.

Hi,

 

quick&dirty: Save a copy in dxf2000 format (saveas dxf2000) and reopen the file.

 

But i am sure you will find some tools too.

In Lisp it is simple to remove gc 420&430 from entities list

(entmod(vl-remove-if '(lambda(x)(member (car x) '(420 430))) (entget ename)))

 

 

 

 

Use your favorite searchengine and search for: AutoCAD convert truecolor to index color

or similar..

 

Sample hit: Click!
