Showing assembly sketch line colors in draft view.

Showing assembly sketch line colors in draft view.

Showing assembly sketch line colors in draft view.

(OP)
I drew a small plant layout in a sketch in an assembly. I used different colors to have a clean view of what is what. Then I inserted some models inside the assembly to position the equipments that will go in the layout.

Until there everything works like a charm. But my problem is when I want to show all of this in a drawing view. I can easily show my assembly sketch but unfortunately the colors won't show, I have all the lines showing with the same visible style.

I would like to see the same colors in the draft view that I selected in the assembly. Is there an option for that somewhere.

Thanks in advance.

The only way to get this effect would be to create new line styles with different colours and use Edge Painter, but if you have a big layout it's probably not practical.

Thanks Beach and Yes that was the solution I was aware of but I really don't want to go that road.

Thanks guys.
