Use Color Books
When assigning colors to objects, you can choose colors from color books
that are loaded on your system.
You can choose from a wide range of custom colors when using color books.
Color books include third-party or user-defined files that contain named color
swatches. These colors can be used to enhance presentation drawings as well
as to optimize the variety of color used in your drawings. You can apply color
book colors to objects in your drawings by using the Color Books tab in the
Select Color dialog box.
Color book files must contain an .acb file extension in order to be recognized
by this program. To access color book colors from the Select Color dialog box,
you must first copy your color book files to a specified color book location.
On the Files tab of the Options dialog box, you can define the path where
color book files are stored. Multiple locations can be defined for the color
book path. These locations are saved in your user profile.
