No control over edge colors--ANNOYING!

No control over edge colors--ANNOYING!

No control over edge colors--ANNOYING!

(OP)
With the last service pack, (sw2005 sp3.1) I seem to have lost control over edge colors.  No matter how I set the colors under the document options, the edge color is the same as the shaded face color!

Really annoying on light-colored parts.  Hard to see edges.

Things tried...
  • I toggled the checkbox for Apply same color to wireframe...
  • Removed all face- and feature-specific color

I could be the world's greatest underachiever, if I could just learn to apply myself.

There is an option under system options and colors. I think it's a checkbox.

Egads!  That was it.  I don't know why that escaped me.

Still seems awkwardly redundant in conjunction with document color control of the same.

RE: No control over edge colors--ANNOYING!

I see the same.
Also, when editing a part in an assembly, I can not select edges from another part in the assy to do CONVERT ENTITIES.
