Hello,

Is it possible to use different component colour in explosion and "no-explosion" view??

So what I mean: I have an assembly and I want that the components are green in "no explosion-view" but in "explosion-view" they should be for example white?

I have used "Edit object display", but have not found out answer for this...[surprise]

The is no direct way to do this, but since Explosions are saved in a view, you can use, while in Drafting...

Edit -> View -> View Dependent Edit...

...to edit the colors of either the Wireframe Edges or the Shaded Faces, whichever is appropriate, of the objects in the views, once for the view with the explosion and once for the view where the model is not exploded.
