Colors When Editing a Component
When you edit a component (part or sub-assembly) in the context of an
assembly, colors indicate which component is being edited. In the FeatureManager
design tree, the text related to the component turns blue. In the graphics
area, the component turns opaque blue, and the rest of the assembly turns
transparent gray. You can change the colors used in Edit
Component mode, or you can turn off the colors.
You can also
change
the transparency used in Edit
Component mode.
To change the colors used in Edit Component mode:
Click Options
(Standard toolbar) or Tools,
Options.
On the System
Options tab, click Colors.
Under Color scheme
settings, select one of the following:
Click Edit,
select a color from the palette, then click OK.
Repeat steps 3 and 4 to change colors for other
selections.
Select Use specified
colors when editing parts in assemblies.
Click OK.
You must turn off RealView to see these colors in the
model.
To turn off the colors used in Edit Component mode:
Click Options
(Standard toolbar) or Tools,
Options.
On the System
Options tab, click Colors.
Clear Use specified
colors when editing parts in assemblies.
Click OK.
Now when you edit a component in the context
of an assembly, the component no longer changes color in the graphics
area. However, in the FeatureManager design tree, the text still changes
to the color selected for Assembly, Edit
Part.
