Is it possible to have different system colors for modelling and drawing environment?

Hi,

I'm using Creo Parametric 6.0.5.1.

Is it possible to have different system colors for modelling and drawing environment?

In modelling environment, when I enable a section view, the contour lines of the part in the section plane are yellow. I can change this in options -> System appearance -> Letter, but then all text, dimensions and tables in the drawing environment are changed as well. I would like to have different "letter" color for the modelling and drafting environments. Is this possible, or is there another way?

 

My workaround is to have mapkeys to quickly change the letter color to black and yellow, but it feels kind of impractical.

 

Thanks in advance.

No. Creo Parametric does not support separate color settings for different environments for modeling and drawing. The Letter color option you mentioned in System Appearance affects both environments. 

Your mapkey is a clever work around.
