Autocad Node Layer.Create - Color doesn't support pen tables

The title says it all. It’s great to have a node where I can explicitly create a layer instead of having a layer created blindly if it doesn’t exist.

But - We use a standard cad template file and we make use of a pen table to control line width along with colour. Layer.Create accepts an ARGB colour, not the Autocad Colour Index values that are used by the pen table.

Sure, I can play with the lineweight in the node. But if this node could work with ACI’s, than it wouldn’t force me to track down and update a bunch of scripts when our template or pen table changes.

So, nothing that I expect anyone to be able to answer, but hopefully there’s a dev out there who uses pen tables too.

This post is very old, but FYI this can be accomplished using the Camber package starting in v2.0.0.

Camber nodes work great!
