Preselection Highlighting

[gbowma]

In Creo2, does anyone know how to change the modeling preselection highlighting from that nasty solid blob (currently default green) back to edges only, like it used to be?

I dont know how to change it to "edges only" but you can change the color if you dont like green!
Go to File -> Option -> System colors -> Graphics and change the preselection color.

Thanks. I can turn it off entirely, too, but then it doesn't show me the model name either. I just do not like that overwhelming solid mass highlighting. Very distracting and unnecessary. Pro needs to add an option to allow edges only.

The option is "fast_highlight no", it is named like this because in fact on many graphics card highlight with edges is slower than highlight with solids

Thank you, zpaolo! That did the trick!
