Manually entering the color name in Composer
On some occasions, you may have ColorID determine a match for you, write down the match,
and use it at a later date.
The basic sequence for filling a shape with the matching color is to select the palette in
Composer that is the same as the Matching Target Palette chosen in ColorID, then enter the
short name (for example, GCS-049) or PANTONE color number of the specified color. If you are
filling a stroke, use the same technique for applying a fill.
To fill an object with a matching Spectratone color
1
In Composer, open the Assign Colors dialog box. In this example we are using a
Spectratone fill. Choose Solid for the fill and Spot for the Color Type.
2
Choose the spot palette option, then click the scroll arrow to view the list of palettes.
3
Click the Gerber Spectratone Palette to select it.
4
Enter the short name for the Spectratone, for instance GCS-049/GCS-643 (Beige over
Pink). The other information fills in automatically.
5
Click OK to fill the object and return to the Composer screen.
Note: Alternate methods are to type the full names in the Top and Base text boxes or
scroll through the palette colors and choose the Top and Base colors. The other text
boxes are automatically filled in.
