Using AutoCAD colors and templates
The QY CAD Draft environment provides a color scheme specifically designed to emulate the AutoCAD environment. The AutoCAD Model color scheme sets the sheet color to black, and it sets default highlight, element selected, element disabled, and handle colors. You can drag AutoCAD .dxf and .dwg files onto the QY CAD sheet, and they will display using the AutoCAD color scheme and template colors.
Color scheme is set per sheet type: working sheet, 2D Model sheet, and background sheet. For consistent graphics display, you should select the same color scheme for each sheet. To select and apply the AutoCAD color scheme, first display the working sheet or the 2D Model sheet, and then select AutoCAD Model from the Color Scheme list on the Colors page of the QY CAD Options dialog box.
Changing the color scheme may cause all your graphics to disappear. If this happens, change the color scheme setting back to QY CAD Default. Then you can experiment with individual color overrides using the Properties command on the shortcut menu of a selected element, or make global changes using the Styles command on the View tab.
There also are QY CAD drawing border block files that support the AutoCAD color scheme. These block files contain drawing borders in different sizes, as well as default title blocks. You can select and place these AutoCAD-friendly drawing borders on the 2D Model sheet when you select the Drawing Area Setup command.
