Can't Add Color

Can't Add Color

Can't Add Color

(OP)
SW 2008 SP3.0

All my colors are out of whack.  How can I assign a color to a part?  My edit color icon is won't work.  

Before I could click on a specific area of a part and assign it a color.  Why can't I anymore?  Why did the 3.0 upgrade change that?

ARGHHHH

This is so annoying.  I had to turn off my Photoworks add-ins, then it allowed me to change what i wanted.  

Why does solidworks feel the need to fix one thing then take away what works?

RE: Can't Add Color

Did you turn off anti-virus before doing the upgrade?

RE: Can't Add Color

RealView does make a difference.  I now add the button for "edit realview appearance" to my standard tool bar.  It will allow you to make color changes while RealView is enabled more easily.  (Tools/Customize/Commands/ then View category)
