Hi,

ASFAIK dxf cannot store colors. But dxf has the possibility to assign geometry to layers (group of geometry). Each layer has a predefined color and if you see a colored dxf-object, then you just see the structure of the layers. pfb is able to store colors. Maybe you should try to use IV/VRML as import/export format (if supported by moonl. atelier)

Ciao
