Are there "standard" colors?

ArdenHTF · 发表于 2022-7-8 12:17:39

The engineer that I used to work with was color blind, so some of the colors used for lines, dims, etc. looked the same to him, even though they were in fact different. He taught me to use:

Dims - Red
Guides/Construction lines - light blue
Object - black
Center lines - magenta

I was wondering if there are industry "standard" colors, or does it matter? I am working in a chemical manufacturing firm, and will be mostly drawing building modifications, tanks, piping, etc.

Thanks,
Arden

Wow! Thanks Tankman. I already have several sets of "PartSpec" CD's -though I just did a online search and see that they are available on the Net, too. I will follow the link and order a set for piping & valves.

I second the part about needing a heavy duty bookshelf!!

Would like to know about the "defacto standard" of the black background in model space. As I wrote before, the engineer I worked with was color blind, so he used a white background, and that's what I've gotten used to. I could certainly become comfortable with black, but wonder if it really makes any difference, other than to the user?

Thanks to all for freely sharing your years of knowledge & experience!

Using a black background in model space was new to me years ago.

After some tech school training, switched to black background and I fine most users do so. Easier on the eyes.

This should be a poll, black or white background in model space?
I think black will lead the poll by a very large margin.
