Adding colors to the Document Palette
Fill, Lines, Colors, and Transparency 147
Colors are added manually or automatically from the Color tab or taken
directly from an object's line/fill into the user's Document Palette.
The palette also stores commonly used colors (e.g., Red, Green, Blue, etc.).
Colors can be added, edited, deleted, or renamed within the Document Palette as
in any of the other Swatch tab's palettes.
Colors in the Document Palette are just saved locally, along with the drawing's
current defaults. That is, the colors don't automatically carry over to new
drawings. However changes to the other palettes are saved globally, in that color
changes will carry over to new documents automatically.
To add a color to the Document Palette (from Color tab):
• Select a color mixed from the Color tab.
If the color doesn't already exist in the Swatch tab's Document Palette, a new
thumbnail appears for it.
To add a new color (via dialog):
1. Display the Document Palette on the Swatch tab.
2. Click Palette Menu and select Add New Color....
- or -
right-click any thumbnail and choose Add....
3. (Optional) From the dialog's Model drop-down menu, choose a
different color model (e.g., RGB sliders).
4. Depending on the selected color mode, use the Color Wheel, Color
Picker, or combination of slider and color spectrum (or use the input
boxes) to set your color value. When using the color spectrum, click
anywhere in the window then drag the marker around to fine-tune
your color selection.
5. Click OK. A new swatch is added to the palette.
