imported part color defaults to brown?-2008, Can it be changed?
(OP)
I import different parts on a daily basis, and have been doing so since sw2003. In the past they would usually import with in gray. 2008 hits and the default color is brown, which is very hard to discifer(not as bad as black). Is there a way to change this default color. I'm importing parasolids, steps, iges's, acis's, cad keys..whatever my customers are supplying.

If you only have SW08 installed and it was a clean install, then the new default colours will be seen.
If you upgraded from a previous version or have multi-installs, the default colours would probably have been transferred.
You may be able to make changes from Tools > Options > System Options > Colors.

I have no idea why SW changed the default colours. Maybe to match better with Vista, maybe with Catia, who knows?
