A color table has been created for CDOT to allow users to visually identify elements and for consistency in color printing. A MicroStation color table defines 256 colors. The CDOT standard color table CDOT_Color.tbl is a modified version of the MicroStation default color table. Colors 0-15 have been modified to enable CDOT users to visually identify elements with ease.
The standard color table for all CDOT design files is CDOT_Color.tbl and is located in the C:\Program Files\Workspace-CDOT\Standards-Global\MicroStation\Tables\color folder. This file defines the RGB values for the MicroStation colors 0-255 and must be used in order to create consistent looking drawings and color plots.
