Getting the Value of ColorIndex for an Entity

[nthangaraj]

Please let me know how to get the color index (AutoCAD ColorIndex # (ACI)) for any Entity?
I can able to get RGB and not ColorIndex.

Thanks

Hello,

It is possible to convert an RGB color to AutoCAD color using a static method ColorToDXF, so when you get the RGB color value for some entity, you can easily retrieve an AutoCAD Color Index number for this color:

Code: Select all

int acIndex = CADImport.Export.SimpleCADtoDXF.DXFExport.ColorToDXF(cadEntity.Color);
