The adherence to this destination path is not necessary for the availability of the palettes in the program.

In this program variant the CMYK palettes (artprint, offset printing uncoated and coated paper) were defined in RGB. To achieve this the black component was substituted by respective negative RGB values (standard formula).


Usage of colour palettes in VectorWorks 11

After the installation the colours are available in the chosen output optimized form in VectorWorks:

  1. Open a new or an existing file in Vectorworks.
  2. Open the window „Swatches“ and the desired output optimization.
  3. Create your projects with your colour palette!


Drag the colour variants out of the accessoires window. It’s not getting simpler than that.

 

PALETTES integrates hundreds of colour systems in your graphic- and CAD-application.
