Hi,

I would like to change the color of some line in a sketch.

I'm using the sketch to create the outline of my future assembly and like to use different colors for different parts.

Thanks for your help

Nicolas

PS in WF3

Either, while you are in sketcher mode, or, while you are in part mode select the line(s) you want to modify then hold down the right mouse button to acces the pop-up menu. Select "properties" and then you can modify color and line type. * I recommend only changing the properties while you are in part mode (3d mode).

Hi Kevin,

Thanks for your help,

Is the right click properties in sketcher mode something added in WF4?

Why do you recomend to change the color in part mode?

Thanks

Hey Nicolas,

I don't recall knowing about changing line colors when I used Widlfire 3.0, so I can't comment on that.

I recommended using the right click properties in Part mode because it has been consistent for me. When I attempt the change in sketcher mode the line may or may not also change in part mode. Also, the change to the line may not remain. Most likely this is an error on my part, but for the purposes of giving advice I only told you what has worked best for me without speculating.

Regards,

Kevin
