Hi @sigster

What do you mean by control? Are you referring to the header variables?

This , when I open DWG file

Test55.zip

Edit: I'm not sure how those values are actually changed because I believe they are proprietary AutoCAD variables. I don't think that all DWG viewers/editors respect those values.

These values are set by default but they are not constraint to anything in particular.

If you want a sort of defaults for your document you can change the values in the header of the document, here is an example with the LineType by default:

doc.Header.CurrentLineTypeName = LineType.ByBlockName;

Not sure which variable holds the current Layout, I would have to check that.

Thanks

Do you have sample how to change Header color to Bylayer

[DomCR]

It seems that, there is a limitation with colors, the colors in the header are written in a different way than the other entities and by now the writer cannot write the colors in the header property, so by now I think that this value cannot change.

I'll open a branch assigned to this issue to take a look at this bug.

and thanks for the

doc.Header.CurrentLineTypeName = LineType.ByBlockName;
