I highly approve of these plans which use color. Makes them much more readable.
I'm a believer and have been proselytizing for this since I started drafting.?ÿ?ÿ
A plan that was drawn in color can work well so long as you follow the rules. Since most CAD operators use the background color 'black' they tend to utilize brighter colors like yellow, cyan, and white. However, when plotted on white background (paper) the bright colors are difficult to see.?ÿ

True. But the printed color doesn't have to be the same as the on screen color.

Correct and these settings can be applied to the template when using C3d

@leegreen I recently posted about putting together a map design and layout CPD course for our local chapter.?ÿ That is one of the items discussed.?ÿ I've used color for about 20+ years on my survey maps.?ÿ When I started out using color, I made that mistake!
Back in the days when I was a PM, my lead PLS was color blind and when I wanted to get his opinion on a tricky resolution I arrived at, I would haveto create a different drawing with colors that I learned that he could differientiate between on the screen.?ÿ When I first started working under him both of us would get frustrated until I figure out a workaround.
Our civil department recently started doing this for their servicing plans (ie. WM = blue, sanitary = red, storm = green).?ÿ The contractor and municipality reviews have been positive.
