SW 2008 differences?

SW 2008 differences?

SW 2008 differences?

(OP)
Hi all,
We just converted to 2008 this week and noted some changes(?)

1.Wwe frequently add sketches(text) and wrap to a surface, then change color of wrap to highlight. While it works on my system, it does not on a colleague's. The color option is grayed out.

2. I created a drawing and went to add a second sheet. I got a "cannot find format" message? The first sheet was good?

Any thoughts? Thanks

RE: SW 2008 differences?

1) RealView turned on is most likely the culprit on your colleagues machine.  Realview overides colors assigned to the part faces

2) It shows up fine on the first sheet because that was saved with your drawing template.  If the sheetformat was saved out then the link to the format was lost and needs to be "reassociated".

Thanks CyW
RealView moved so it took a bit longer to find. Thanks for the tip.
