I must detail using yellow!
I must detail using yellow!
(OP)
I guys!
It as been a while since my last post! But I'm back again and hope to always find a bit of time to share with you.
For the time beeing I need your help.
I've been running Sw2007 SP2.2 for sometime, without noticeable issues.
Now I've upgraded to SP4.0 (mainly to test the new validation process) and... surprise: all details added in drawings (dimensions and annotations) are yellow. They are very difficult to read!
Hoping that the new SP have new system options for detailing, I started to search for a color to change: no luck.
I've changed all system colors that where yellow to other colors, with no success.
The details created on SP4.0 are shown yellow even if the file is opened on SP2.2, and details created on SP2.2 are shown black (as it should be) even if the file is opened on SP4.0.
Any ideas?
Regards

No I didn't.
Thinking that this could be the issue, I verified that. I even created details in other layers (none using yellow) and the problem was the same: the details where added all in yellow.
I just upgraded from SP2.2 to SP4.0 and started to work, testing if everything is OK. No change in options, templates,..., was done. It just hapen that I upgraded in the middle of detailing a drawing.
Thanks

RE: I must detail using yellow!
I don't know why, but the Default option under the Line color icon was unchecked.
On the other computers it is checked and I am prety shure that it was checked too, on this computer, prior to SP4.0 install (I was detailing a drawing and the details where black). Another XFiles case.
Once checked, everything returned to normal.
Thanks for the precious link, RFUS!
