SW 2009 Colors and Appearance
SW 2009 Colors and Appearance
(OP)
I want a part to be white. When I open the appearance property manage and select white color for the part, I get a slightly lighter shade of gray (the default color). In 2008, this usually meant I had a color set for the feature or surface as well. This isn't the case here. Least not that I can tell. I have tried setting different appearances, it might add a texture, but the 'graying' out still happens.
Can anybody help me out here?

White has always shown in a gray color for me. The issue with not being able to color the knurling texture is a limitation (or regression) of the "new" way of doing things.

You can find the old textures in /solidworks/data/images
I made a copy of the texture and opened it in snagit editor, did a fill with the color of my housing with a 75% tolerance and 50% transparency. Then did a stretch intensity. Browsed to the new texture in the appearance property manager.
You could get a free version of snagit 7 just for giving them an email at one time. I used 9 in this case not sure if 7 has the same options and I am sure something like photoshop would work much better.
