eDrawing question
(OP)
Hello All,
How do I change the paper background and gradient background colors in edrawings? All my templates are white on white and when checked in PDMWorks, they view in edrawing to the standard SW color defaults. I'm trying to capture views of old revisions to put in my Excel ECO's. The(light brown) paper background is messing things when pasting in Excel.
Also, all users have the same color scheme defaults. Thanks to ctopher showing me how to use the Copy Options Wizard though our network.
Thanks for your help and Happy Holiday's!

I'm halfway there. It fixed the Gradient background, but not the paper background.

SW 2004 has the same option, but nothing for paper background.

RE: eDrawing question
Oh, CorBlimeyLimey.........that background button controls the gradient color.
Still looking at PDMWorks options as well as SW color options
There is an answer out there...........somewhere.......

RE: eDrawing question
Good to hear from ya.
In tools/options/system options, did you scroll down to see "drawings, paper color"?
RE: eDrawing question
Till you get 2005 you could remove sheet colour using Photoshop or similar. It would be a PITA but might be a temporary solution.
RE: eDrawing question
Do you mean under SW? If so, yes,that's where I changed everything to white. Background and Paper color.
In PDMworks, the "Preview Picture" tab looks great and also correct. But when I select the "View" tab (which uses edrawings) the paper color changes to that light brown color.

RE: eDrawing question
I do see the same problem. I can't seem to change it.
