I am not able to publish a dwg with the same colors

[Anonymous]

I am not able to publish a dwg with the same colors as my fills and zones in ArchiCAD 12.
The same translator that will do so in ArchiCAD 11, does not do so in 12.
Clicking on the radio button: "RGB color if no exactly matching Standard Autocad Color exist would usually do the trick.
Not any more.

Since GS has changed the dwg engine somewhat in AC12, I would not use the same translator file as I did in AC11, instead I would create a new one from a copy of one of the delivered templates, with as much as possible the same settings as I used in AC11. There might be required changes in the xml file that is not apparent in the GUI.

And, my recommendation is to always start with the KeepIndexNumber translator. Did you try that one?

I only tried the 11 translator after giving up on the 12.
KeepIndexNumber translator, yes I tried this, gives me the colors according to the Autocad pens, and does not keep the colors I have in my file.
Here's somethin interesting, we can still publish with colors in ArchiCAD 12 2285

You can customize the included color table if you like. This translator gives you control, that's why I like it

Weird. sounds like a bug, if no other settings were changed. Check and report through your reseller!
