Reset Part Colors
Reset Part Colors
(OP)
How can i reset the part colors for all configurations? I am running 2006 sp3. Previous users changed colors of faces, solid bodies and features all in the same part. Thanks

Another question;
I have some hardware like 1/4-20 shcs same part file, multiple configurations of various lengths. Now the requirement comes up that some are zinc and others are black oxide. Should i change the color to help with identification or should i let the part description destinquish them? Also if i change the color is it best to do the solid body or the feature tree? Thanks for any input.

I would advise coloring the part as a whole by the body and not an initial feature that is the parent of all other features. I use feature colors to highlight changes in parts such as adding a boss and turning the feature red to make the change clear. Colors are config based to so they will update across all confics or spcified oconfigs. Opening up the part and changing the color accross all configs is the same to me as having to open the part to change a display state (if there was such a thing at the part level). It is good practice to do your coloring at the part level vs assem until you really have a good feel for colors.
