Coloring in Assembly mode
Coloring in Assembly mode
(OP)
I just moved from SW 2003 to SW 2004. In SW 2004, when I am in assembly mode and choose "edit part" I lose all of the coloring information from the part. I poked around and found "Use specified colors when editing parts in assemblies" under system options and colors but the part color is overridden regardless of whether this box is checked or not.
Does anyone know how to get the part colors to stay while working while editing the part in assembly mode? This is annoying because I am not able to recognize some features without color distinction and wireframe/hidden lines is useless when used with many features.

RE: Coloring in Assembly mode
When this option IS checked, then the edit color is whatever the "Assembly, Edit Color" in "System Colors" is set too (I think the default is hot pink).
When you have a color of a part in an assembly, and you OPEN the part to edit it, and it changes colors, then you have overridden the parts color in the assembly.
Does any of this shed light on your issue?

RE: Coloring in Assembly mode
I have SW2003 files that worked previously with the correct coloring data but do not work in SW2004. I even tried uninstalling SW2004 to put SW2003 back on but I cannot open the newly saved SW2004 files due to a "future version" error with SW2003 (meaning the files are not backwards compatible).
