BOM Color

BOM Color

(OP)
We are having a strange problem with our drawing's BOMs.  For 2 of our users, the BOMs appear on the sheet as an orange color no matter if it is a inserted new, or opened w/an existing drawing.  For the other 2, it appears black like the rest of the sheet.  Our sheet formats do not have layers.  They are running into problems when we have to print the drawing in color instead of black/white.  This is just happening since we have finally moved everyone to 2008.  

What are we missing to get rid of the orange BOMs???

RE: BOM Color

Use the Copy Settings Wizard to create a reg file on a good system, then use that to copy the settings to the 'rogue' systems.

CBL,

that is how the systems were initially set up, that is why we are baffled.

The same reg file was used in the Copy Settings Wizard for each system.  But we can't find a difference in the options anywhere.

RE: BOM Color

Has the problem existed since the system settings were copied?

Are all the graphics cards and drivers, SW versions and SPs the same?

Is the Software OpenGL disabled? Sometimes that setting changes without the users knowledge.

cheers
