Changing Color of "Transparency"?

Changing Color of "Transparency"?

Changing Color of "Transparency"?

(OP)
My default color for making something transparent is blue, is there a way to change that color? Thanks!

RE: Changing Color of "Transparency"?

(OP)
Also, when I make a part transparent, and I print it. The part that is transparent turns back into a solid. Can I print something that is transparent?

RE: Changing Color of "Transparency"?

Its only blue if the part is highlighted. When I click off the part the transparency goes back to the color your part is.

Does your print preview show the file transparent or solid? Mine shows transparent and prints transparent. If yours shows transparent and prints as a solid then its a print driver most likely.

RE: Changing Color of "Transparency"?

(OP)
Yea, it shows as transparent but prints as a solid.

And when I click off the transparent part, it turns back into a solid. I think someone on here said it does that because my graphics card isnt good enough. Is that probably what it is?

RE: Changing Color of "Transparency"?

Sounds like that might be your issue... as for the the printing issue that could still be your print driver. I would suggest updating that to see if that print issue can be fixed. Other wise its probably a graphics issue
