Does anyone know how to revise the pen numbers for the Color Numbers? I am working in DataCAD 12. I am able to revise the pen numbers for the colors with names, but not for the colors with numbers, i.e. Color 213.

Hi Daniel,

You should be able to edit all 255 colors in the Pen Table dialog box, by sliding the list down; eitehr with the elevator or with the down arrow.

There are 256 colors, but only 17 pens. Each color on the left side of the Pen Table is mapped to one of the 17 pens values on the right. Pen 0 is non-printing, and Pen 16 Prints in the color of the linetype, but you can not adjust the width/density of them. A long standing wish is that we could have a single list of values for 256 pens and that each pen would be able to be defined a color or visa versa with colors having widths/density.
