Over all color setting in drawings?

robert dattilo Oct 20, 2015 10:29 AM

Hello;

Somehow the over all new entry color got changed in a drawing that I'm working on. The dimensions, & sketch entities like a line, & annotations like

balloons etc., all are bright blue. Does anyone know the setting that seems to override the individual colors etc. ? I know there's options for indiviual colors

like dimensions etc.

Thanks, in advance for any input;

Hello;
I found a setting in the line color tab, which seems to control all the colors in the drawings. So it's line color,
then choose set next line color. This seems to control balloons, lines, dimensions etc., & over-rides other
settings.

Thanks,
Rob_D

  Are you talking about this one?
  
  It can cause all kinds of problems if it's turned on.

    Hello;
    No, it's the paint brush three, to the left. I'm not sure how this seems to work with other color settings
    like layer etc., because there always seems to be a box highlighted, you just switch them and the color
    changes.
    
    Thanks,

      You mean this one?
      
      I've run into problems there too if Default got de-selected.

        Hello again Glenn;
        
        Yes, that's the one. Also I believe that answers the question. If it's set to default the color would be established by the layer or other settings, but if you check another box in this then you over-ride the other
        color settings like layer. I can definitely see how straying from default, unless very carefully watched, could mess
        things up.
        In my case I had an extremly busy drawing, of which I wanted a few dimesnions to stand out, making the bright blue for bit in the development stages. I think I should of then made sure when I was done & deleted them that I just set this line color back to default instead
        of changing the color back to black.
        
        Thanks,
        Rob_D
