Yellow Entites now printing in yellow WF5

Hi for some reason, since upgrading to WF5 yellow entities
(dimensions, text) are actually printing in yellow? I am
using the same drawing config file and same pen table as
before. Any ideas?

Here is the line from my pen table:

! yellow entities (text, dimensions, cross hatching) pen
2 thickness .001 cm; letter_color
 
I had this problem back in Oct 27, 2009. I did two things to solve the problem.

Open:

View > Display Settings > System Colors > Scheme

Select "Wildfire 1.0 - 4.0"

Save

I also create a "table.pnt" file with only the contents

pen 2 color 0.0 0.0 0.0

In your config.pro add and entry "pen_table_file <location of file>"

I'm not sure if that's required, I never deleted the file to see if it stopped working, but that's what I have done to get it working.
 
Also, I need to point out one more thing. In the config.pro file for your entry pen_table_file, point to the exact location of the table.pnt file, do not rely on the general path line "search_path" to work properly,

So yes, I did need this file.
 
Hi, just to update for anyone else having the same problem.
I totally scrapped my config.pro which I have been re-using
since pro/e v17 lol... started a fresh and it fixed the
problem. I think radelectronics is correct though that it
had something to do with the system colours as I had set
custom ones.

Thanks for the input guys. :)
