set colours for quild edges in drawings

Hi

As we know, by default Creo shows edges of quilds (surfaces) in pink on drawings. A Creo user can change the quild display colour on his/her machine through the Creo display settings (Options > System appearance>Global colors), but that doesn't affect how other users see that same drawing (other users will still see those edges in pink).

I would like to find a way how to set the colours of quild edges in my drawing views. I am happy to set colours for all lines on each affected drawing view if that's required.

However, when aiming to set the "Line Style" (Creo drawing: Layout tab > Format section>Line Style>Modify Lines) I can't select any quilds. The selection filter is showing "All" but Creo doesn't pick up the quild edges (when I hover the mouse over the quilds, it just doesn't pick up anything).

So the question - how can I change the colour of those quild edges?

Please let mw know if any screenshots / screen video recordings would be helpful

Thank you

Hi,

 

ask PTC Support why quilt edge color cannot be changed.

 

  • create user color scheme for requested display of quilt edges
  • create mapkey which sets the above mentioned user color scheme
  • send both modifications to all users

    Essentially, I just wanted to confirm that quild edge colour can not be changed, and im not just missing something.

    So thank you Martin for confirming, I will mark you answer as solution.

     

    I don't see the point of reporting anything to PTC - they seem to have unresolved tickets since 2012 so I wouldn't be holding my breath. 

    Common settings for all users isn't a solution - I don't have access to Publisher so the published PDFs would still be pink. That's why I want to _set_ the line colour in the View, so that it wouldn't depend on the Creo / computer settings.

     

    Thank you for the help anyway, a negative answer is still an answer.

    Hi,

    I don't understand the term Publisher ...

    I hope that you know that during PDF producing Creo is able to apply pen table. The appropriate setting of pen table resolves your problem with pink edges.
