Question:
When trying to fill an object within a drawing with yellow color, why is the result a muddy green/brown color, not real yellow? This also prints out as this color instead of real yellow.
Answer:
The color presentation has been like that for yellow since white background became possible in drawings (Tekla Structures 10.0). It is hard to see the real yellow if you have a white background. This is why the muddy yellow is used on white background.
But if you set the drawing background color to black (XS_BLACK_DRAWING_BACKGROUND=TRUE), the yellow lines will be displayed as real yellow.
