Different background for model and drawing

[Joost]

I want to know if it is possible to have a different background when working with a model and when working in a drawing.

Because the current background colour I have is the same for in a model view and in a drawing view. But I can't find a good colour to use for both options.

So is it possible to achieve this and how can you do this.

Hi Joost, welcome to the forum.

You can have different colors for models and drawings. I attached my current system colors file. This will give you an idea of differnt color options. To test this place this file on your computer then point your config.pro to that file. Make sure to save the config.pro, then restart Creo. Also a google search should lead you some video tutorials of how to setup your own system color options.

Hi James

Thanks for your help. Now I got what I want in Creo.

Because the gradient colour is used when a model is open and the other colour is used when working with drawings.

I know about the config.pro and how to edit that but thanks for also showing how to do that. That's also handy for other people who want to achieve the same as me.

I'll edit the colours to my own liking and thanks again for the help.

I worked very had to get the same color scheme as the original Pro|E. I got pretty close with my current setup.
