Question
number_user_colors config setting query
Hi Folks,
Once again I put on my temporary administrator hat and dust of my work to
convert us to WF5 from WF4.
I have been trolling through our configs and looking to see that all that is
there is relevant along with adding new stuff.
One old command I came across was the one in the subject line. Our existing
setting is *number_user_colors 120*
It has been there for at least a decade, probably since we had ProE in '95,
so my question is if anybody knows what it means beyond the Help =
number_user_colors
200*
Specifies the maximum number of user-defined colors that are available
within the Appearance Editor and the Entity Colors dialog boxes.
and the Tools/Options =
Specifies the maximum number of different wireframe colors that the display
can display in the graphics area(s) at any given time
I expected there would be some pointer to what the default number is or what
the range should be but am coming up empty. The 200* might be a clue but to
what? Is it the maximum number?
