    Color in drawings

    Yes, it is color on someone elses machine. I cannot post it. We have the same video card. I have windows 7. The other machine does not. Is there a setting I can change?

    Color in drawings

    I have a SW drawing converted from AutoCad. It is in color and when I open it, it first shows up in color but by the time it opens all the way it is in black and white. Can anyone tell me how to make it stay in color? Thanks!

    Is SolidWorks going out of business?

    crop view on section view

    Here is what I found out from SolidWorks and just want to pass it on. My section was created with a section line that was not a straight line. If your section line is not straight, you cannot do anything to the section view. Thanks for all the help!
