The HiCAD Colour Editor is a tool for the definition and management of object colours and special colours.

Object colours are the edge and surface colours - including their optical properties - used for the representation of 2-D drawings and 3-D model drawings. From Version 2008 onwards, HiCAD distinguishes between Drawing colours and System colours.

Special colours are the colours used for various elements on the screen, such as the drawing background, the cursor or the object selection.

Use the appropriate tabs to specify the Object colours and Special colours. In the Object colours tab you can expand or collapse the display of the current drawing colours and system colours using the and icons.

Please note:

Since Version 2008, the Colour Management has changed, including the file format of the colour and material files. The file name extension is now FRD. Material files of old HiCAD versions can however be converted into the new format :

  1. Open the old material file in the Colour Editor.
  2. Select whether you want to optimise the colour conversion for screen representation or the RayTracer representation.
