Pen Standards

Anonymous
Not applicable
Just wondering what pen colour standards people are using in their offices for documentation. It is easy to find standard pens using a black background, i guess from autocad, but i cannot find any info on the internet what other people are using for white backgrounds?

I think is a good Idea to leave the first row of pens as it is.
(Factory settings) In release 10 I noticed theres a description of what are these pens are used for.(door, windows, door swings etc) In order for the library parts to be printed correctly, I think these pens should be left alone. If not youll have to open the library parts and change the color of its components to suit your standards, a tedious job.
This is KEY!

Many people with existing templates may find it too hard to implement this rule, but it should definitely be followed for new or adaptable templates, given the current state of the Graphisoft default pens. It still won't be perfect because some of the tool's default pens are still outside the top row, but it will get you closer.
