Annotation preferences (changing color)
Annotation preferences (changing color)
(OP)
How can I keep my annotation color to default (for example to green ) and stay green, when I change it
in preferences, when I change file it defaults back to black, I changed it in customer defaults, it keeps going back to
the black color
in preferences, when I change file it defaults back to black, I changed it in customer defaults, it keeps going back to
the black color





RE: Annotation preferences (changing color)
If you are opening 2 different parts (part a and part b, for example), and both annotation preferences are set to black, if you change annotation color to green in part a and switch to part b, the annotation color for part b will still be black.
If you've changed your customer defaults and create a new part from a blank (no template) part, the default annotation color should be set to green (unless you don't have write access to that particular customer default).

New Entry -> Visualization Template
...and when the dialog comes up, give it some useful name and hit OK.
Now when you need to update the visualization settings on an existing Drawing, simply open the Drawing, go to that tab and DRAG the icon you see there (that was created when you defined the Visualization Template). When you do that, all of the various visualization settings, such as the color settings, which CDF file to use, as well as other settings like background colors, defaults lights, selection options, grids, etc., that you set in Customer Defaults will be applied automatically to your Drawing. Now just save your file and it will be updated to your latest visualization settings.
