Welding Symbol/Text color.

Welding Symbol/Text color.

Welding Symbol/Text color.

(OP)
I'm working with MDT5 and want to know how to change the welding symbol/text color from the standard yellow which can't be read when printed on white paper.
Sounds simple but I need help.

RE: Welding Symbol/Text color.

Change the layer color which the symbol resides. Use list to ID layer name.

It is also necessary for the color propery to be set at "bylayer"

RE: Welding Symbol/Text color.

(OP)
Thanks for the advise. I actually already tried that and it worked for part of symbol and later on I found that in edit mode I could select the text, right click and Format Text Color to the same color as the rest. A rather annoying solution but for now it works. What I would really like to do is find where I can change the default settings for color not only for the weld symbols but also for the BOM.
Thanks again!
