There may be different reasons for wanting to get other colors of the symbols on a plan view drawing - for example, to show that the drill holes are from different sources.

By utilizing the function to draw everything "ByLayer" can accomplish this.

Colors "ByLayer" available from Version 15.1.

Colours - Drawing

Under settings, there is now a new choice - "Color selection - Drawing".

Examples of application

If you wish to visualize the drill holes have different origins this can be done by creating multiple plan view drawings - with their own choice of color - and then put them together with the XREF in a common model drawing.

1. Create a selection for "Origin 1"
2. Create a plan view drawing with only this selection
3. Set the desired color in "Layer" dialog box
4. Create selection for "Origin 2"
5. Create a plan view drawing with only this selection
6. Set the desired color in the "Layer" dialog box
7. Merge the two plan drawings in a common model
8. Now the origin is seen by the symbols have different color.
