Colors with the same name in Creo and AutoCAD map automatically.
User-defined Creo colors with the same RGB values as standard AutoCAD colors map automatically.
AutoCAD 2000 and earlier versions do not support user-defined Creo colors whose RGB values do not match standard AutoCAD colors. These colors map by default to white in AutoCAD. If you export the file to a version newer than AutoCAD 2000, new colors with the same RGB values are automatically created to match user-defined Creo colors.
You can also customize color mapping during a file export using the Export Environment for DXF or theExport Environment for DWG dialog box.
