No color on the drawing

2D plans Layout

I do a drawing and I assign a dimension to a red layer and another side to a blue layer.
My problem is that the color doesn't show up on the drawing
Despite my attempts: color drawing, export in pdf, nothing helps, the COE doesn't change color.
Someone will have an idea so that I can get the colors of a dimension or a line in my drawing

Hello and welcome;

To see the colors on your drawings, you have to activate the color mode from the Filters toolbar (keyboard shortcuts =>F5)

To export the colors in the pdfs you have to set the System options:

And for exports in dwg (or dxf) it is preferable to use a projection file:

Thanks for the quick feedback, but I had also tried the color display mode without success.

I had imagined that in the Solidworks settings there was an option that I had disabled but not found.

I have no more ideas...

@Maclane
Can you develop your projection file?

For the projection file to the dwg and dxf:

In the Export/DWG/DXF system options:

You can activate the projection file:

This allows you to " translate/convert " Solidworks line types to autocad line types (dwg).
You can also replace the colors of the Solidworks layers to other colors in the dwgs:

@cedricthebaud In your drawing layer options, are you properly configured with " As Standard "?

Hello @Maclane
Yes, I am configured according to the standard.
I saw that SW doesn't use classic RGB colors like other software but uses a calculation (in the setting of room families). Is that why the projection file?
