Colored faces not displaying in drawing section views.
Colored faces not displaying in drawing section views.
(OP)
Hi, I'm new to this forum, my solidworks teacher recommended it...
I have 6 section views, each one is set to a different display state with different colored faces. The sectioned views are not showing colored faces, they are just showing as gray (the material color) - except for one...one works correctly. All the section views have the same settings - I created them by copying/pasting the first view and then just changing the display state. I dont understand why one works, and the rest don't....
What I'm tyring to do is create an instruction page for a part that uses multiple gages to check different features. I created multiple display states, one for each gage, where I colored the faces that the gage checks. Each display state has 3-4 drawing views, including 1-2 sectioned views. All the non-sectioned views show the colored faces correctly. How do I get the sectioned views to show the colored faces correctly?
I've attached an image showing the colored face in the model, and how the sectioned view doesn't show the colored face correctly...

RE: Colored faces not displaying in drawing section views.
Instead of creating mutliple display states in one configuration, I created multiple configurations, and chose "link display states to configurations". I then edited the colors for each configuration and then chose that configuration for the drawing views. All views work correctly now.
