Black contour lines in draft

Black contour lines in draft

Black contour lines in draft

(OP)
Can the default black color of the contour lines be changed in draft mode of Version 15??

RE: Black contour lines in draft

What do you mean by 'contour' lines ?
Do you mean the normal outlines of part edges ?
If so you can modify the 'visible' line style to whatever colour you want or create a new coloured linestyle and set all visible edges to use this one.

Look under Format>Style.

Great! That's what I was looking for.... knew it had to be somewhere!

Thanks

RE: Black contour lines in draft

Tom,

You can also create different coulours and apply them to different parts within the draft, by setting the visible edges linetype for the part within the draft view display properties.
You could get quite sophisticated results using the query command in there to find all parts of the same name and apply a particular style to them all. (eg all M6 screws green)
