I didn't write this myself, so I didn't know the answer off the top of my head.
I just looked it up. Apparently, everything is in place, except the actual
color table look up. (!) A request is made to look up the color, but it
always defaults to grey. Doh.
If I can get a list of the color indices, I'll add that to the DXF Loader, and
we set this up for the next NCSA Portfolio beta release.
Thanks for the help on this.
