Component Colors In Drawing

(OP)
Is there any way to make the component colors in the drawing follow the colors of the models? All of my drawing geometry is black.

Thanks.

RE: Component Colors In Drawing

All the settings are in Tools/Options/document settings.

RE: Component Colors In Drawing

There are no color settings in Tools/Options/document settings for drawings that I know of.

The only way I've found to color component parts in an assembly drawing is to put each component on a separate layer and assign a color to each layer. There is a example macro in the API Help called 'Put Assembly Components in Drawing View on Different Layers Example (VB)'. I think you'll have to add the random coloring to this macro yourself (if memory serves correctly).
