Apply and Lock Color Settings

Administrators can use the SOLIDWORKS® Settings Administrator tool to apply and lock color settings either for the first session of SOLIDWORKS or for every session. They can lock those colors to prevent users from changing them and control the background appearance.

Administrators can lock only the active color and background appearance. Users cannot change these settings. Inactive settings are not affected. If a color or background appearance is locked, then users cannot change their color scheme.

To access the Settings Administrator tool, run the tool from the location where you stored the administrative image.
