DCL Slide_Image from slide not showing color 7

I have noticed a problem with a Dialog box with a slide_image showing a .SLD file.

The original blocks have layers set to color 7.

I create the slides in AutoCAD for a folder full of blocks and don't put them into a slide library.

If I vslide the slide, they look okay.

But when I use DCL to view the slide, the white entities and some of the red disappear.

If I change the color to 255, they also disappear.

If I cahnge the color to any thing other than 7 or 255, they look better.

In the following image, I changed the color to 254.

I use a LISP routine to create all the slides, so I guess I can change all entities with color 7 to some other color.

Note - in the make slide routine, I change the size of the window to be approximately the size of the dialog box view area.

 

I was wondering if anyone else ran into this problem and if they have a better fix.

I have a feeling there aren't a lot of people creating and putting slides into AutoCAD dialog boxes.

But I remember I encountered this similar problem back when AutoCAD 2007 came out which had a different graphic engine than previous versions.

The same occurs now when you jump from AutoCAD 2014 to 2015.

But perhaps you can post back the AutoCAD version you are using, then others can confirm.

Perhaps set the background to white before generating the slide?
Or PDF those views, pastespecial the PDF's, adjust the zoom/pan
and app window, then generate the slide?
(second method untested)
