Colour Books for Autodesk AutoCAD 2004 / 2005 / 2006

Here at Dulux we have created Colour Books which can be used with the following programs:
Autodesk AutoCAD 2004, AutoCAD 2005 and AutoCAD 2006 (including AutoCAD based "Desktop" products).

These colour books allow you to specify Dulux colours anywhere AutoCAD allows colour selection (Layers, Objects, and Hatch fills etc).

If a project (which uses a colour from the Dulux Colour Books) created in AutoCAD is viewed/edited on another CAD program that doesn't have the Dulux Colour Books installed the colours will be converted to RGB True colour values.

The resulting appearance will not change but the Dulux Colour Name will be replaced with the RGB values.

The downloadable .acb files need to be saved into a colour book folder, which can be found in AutoCAD under Profile/Files ("Colour Book Locations").

Dulux offers colour books for all of its colour ranges, and also a colour book for each individual colour.

Dulux saved colour books will be available in "Select Colour dialog" on the "Colour book tab", provided the colour books are saved in the correct location.

For additional help on saving colour books consult your AutoCAD manual.

All colour book files are saved compressed in a .zip format. The .acb files need to unzipped using an appropriate ZIP program.
