Running EZCad and I'm trying to make a test pattern that I can use to test material.. but, I only seem to be able to use the first 8 pens/colors.
So, I draw my block and fill it. Default appears to put put in pen 0, that's fine. But for the first 8 units, I go leave the block selected, then go to the upper right and select one of the colors that correlates to a pen.
However, there are only 8 selections, though the pan able window above it shows up to 255 available pens (15 with preassigned colors). If I have a test block 'picked' go to the fill tab and select pen 9 (for example), the test block stays black (pen 0) and since the 8 row of colors is only 8 units/pens.. I can't pick color #9 and therefore change the pen..
a) does this make sense?
And if so
B) how do I change this and make it so I can use the additional 240 pens?
Edit: I did try the little "box of boxes" drop down that's in the menu in the top, of the screen, second bar down and looks like a color filing card set. Still, the images on the screen stay black.
Thanks!
