To create an automated layer and color assignment scheme

Note:

When the check box labeled Automate Layer And Color Assignments When Creating Objects is cleared, default AutoCAD layer and color settings are in effect.

1. In the Setup tree view, expand Plant 3D DWG Settings. Click Layer and Color Settings.
2. On the Automated Layer And Color Assignment pane, do the following:
   • Make sure the check box labeled Automate Layer And Color Assignments When Creating Objects is selected.
   • Click New.
   
3. In the New Automation Scheme dialog box, do the following:
   • In the Name box, enter a name for your automated scheme.
   • In the Start With list, click an existing scheme (for example: Default).
   • Click OK.
   
4. On the Automated Layer And Color Assignment pane, do the following:
   • In the Assign Layer By list, click a property (for example: Spec).
   • In the Assign Color By list: click a property or leave the setting unchanged (for example: Nominal Diameter).
   • In the Color column, click the color you want to change. In the AutoCAD Select Color dialog box, click a new color. Click OK.

     For more information about the Select Color dialog box, see “Set the Current Color” in the AutoCAD Help system.

   • Click Save Changes.
   • To replace the default scheme with the new scheme, click Set Current.
5. Click OK.

   The new automated scheme is reflected in all open models. All other models in the project reflect this change when you open them.
