Background Color
Background Color
(OP)
Is there a way in UG to set the background color to be user specific rather than file specific? Being a long time Solidworks user, I'd rather have a lighter background gradient.
I know can create a template or modify my default file but when other long time UG users here open my files, I'm sure they won't like the lighter color.
Why in the world does UG make this file specific?

Can't tell you why they did it that way. Was the same way back before UGS added the graduated background.

go to application- modeling
preferences
visualization
color pallete
edit background
change shaded views and wireframe views from plain to graduated
once u have finished your work change it back to plain and save the part.

The first you hit and it sets the view the way you want it after opening the part.
The second you hit before you save the part and revert back to your company defaults.
You could go one step further and write a macro/grip routine that opens the file you want and automatically applies your view settings and reverts back when you save. You'd have to use some non default icons for opening and closing parts though.
