drawing geometry color

Hello. I'm new in Creo (version 6.0.4)  and I've a problem with color in drawings. I like the default color in part and assembly mode (with blue geometry when see the part in wireframe). But in drawing I want all the geometry black.

If I change the color of geometry in System color from blue to black, it change in part mode and also in drawing mode.

There is a way to change the color only in drawing mode?

Hi,

use File > Print > Preview to see what colors will be printed.

That is what a pen_table is for. It translates a screen color to a pen color and width.

Read the documentation on plotting and pen tables to understand them.
