NX8 Import CGM 1

[Xwheelguy]

I'm exporting CGMs (from the File -> Export -> CGM option, not the SDI dialog) using the color setting of Black on White. When I try to turn around and import the resulting CGM back into NX, all the lines are black and using our standard black background, I'm forced to edit all of the object colors to something other than black. While this is working as expected, I have a user sitting behind me who does the EXACT same thing and when he imports the SAME CGM file, his is all grey in color.

My question: why is mine black and his not (using the SAME NX defaults) upon import? Seems like there is a setting somewhere that's doing this - will check into Windows desktop settings because I know that while obscure, they sometimes will affect things in NX.

Any insight would be GREATLY appreciated.

Does your coworker have the 'wireframe contrast' option turned on in NX?

Yep, that was it. Just found it as you were posting.

Thanks cowski.
