Sheet Name color
Sheet Name color
(OP)
It is possible to change the sheet name color (to white), or actually turn it off, that appears at the bottom of a drawing ?
I have one instance where I I want to do that, but I cannot find what controls that.

If you are using the monochrome option, it appears to be controlled by the 'foreground' color; otherwise it appears to be controlled by the 'selection' color.

Now if you do have a good reason to want it removed or at least unseen, I guess you could do as cowski has suggested and change the 'Selection' color. However that will only prove effective if you're NOT using the Monochrome display option for your drawings. I say this since you originally asked how can you set the color to 'white' which suggests that you are using a Monochrome Drawing display since that is generally the only place where the Drawing background is 'white' and I assume that you were going to use this color change to effectively 'turn-off' the display of the text. Unfortunately, if you ARE using Monochrome display, changing the 'Selection' color will NO effect on this string of text. You'd have to change the 'Foreground' color to 'White' which is NOT going to get you anywhere, trust me
Now if you're running NX 8.0 or newer, there is something that you can do to at lesat mitigate (make it less offensive) the presence of this string of text. Just go that same place that cowski suggested...
Preferences -> Visualization -> Color/Font
...and at the bottom of the page you can change the size and the font used for any on-screen text, including this note in the bottom left corner of the screen. Just set the size to the smallest available, make sure you keep it set to 'Regular' and then change the font to one of the smaller, lightweight typefaces, such as 'Cordia New' or one of the so-called 'UPC' fonts, such as 'IrisUPC' or 'FreeiaUPC'. Now this won't actually remove the text, but it will make it as small and unobtrusive as possible.

RE: Sheet Name color
The nice thing about utilizing a drawing view (instead of something from a model view) is because i can view dependent edit out things (mostly hard and very small edges)that I don't want.
The reason I mentioned "white" is because I was able to changed the dashed drawing outline to white, which blended in with the sheet background color, and appeared invisible.
If I had a way to edit pdf's then i could just cut out the drawing name, but I can't do that.
I really don't know why the person is insisting that I send him a pdf of it, but that's the way it is.
Thanks for all the help

When I export a pdf, the view borders and sheet name don't show up in the pdf file. Do they show up in yours?

File -> Export -> PDF...
...function to create your PDF files, NONE of the on-screen objects, such as the sheet name or even the view 'triad' is you were in modeling, is included in the PDF document file. The export PDF function is using the same NX code as does plotting and printng, both of which also does NOT include anything except the actual content of the Drawing or the current view on the screen.
