Removing the black backround of the drafting.

Removing the black backround of the drafting.

Removing the black backround of the drafting.

(OP)
Hi.

I have this sample file of a screw.
If I try to generate a drafting it makes it black and with some customized options.
How can I revert all that customized options to get the regular ones?
(such as white background, as if I where using the wizard the first time)

RE: Removing the black backround of the drafting.

OK, open a file where your color settings are correct or at least where you like what you see.

Now go to...

Preferences -> Palettes...

...and create a new palette if you don't already have a user-defined palette on the Resource Bar. Once the tab has been added, select it, place your cursor over some 'white space', press MB3 and then expand the 'New Entry' list and select the 'Visualization Template' item and when the dialog opens enter some name like 'Standard Colors' and hit OK.

Now open the translated part and go to that same palette, select and drag the 'Standard Colors' item onto the NX display window and all of the color and display settings will have been changed to be the same as that original drawing that you used as reference. Now just save the file and you should be good to go.
