Editing Part Color and RealView Color

Devon Sowell Jul 18, 2008 4:30 PM

Hello-

I'd like to see this;

The ability when Editing the Part Color, either using the Standard Color Dialog Box, the FlyOut Apperance Display, or the RealView Color Editor;

By Selecting a Radio Button,Make both colors the same. For example, the Part Color is the same, say Green, when RealView is on and off.

Thanks.

Devon,

I like it! In addition, I would like to have the radio button default to the on position. I don't use RealView very much, but I usually want my colors to be the same whether I'm in RealView or not.

    I completly agree.
    
    We use the Real view graphics to impress our clients, but when we go to switch back to standard, the parts look differnt. It can be frustrating.

      If you guys get a chance, I highly recommend that you try 2009 Beta. You will see improvements...

        Oh, one more thing....
        
        This trick might be a good way of synchronizing colors without having RealView enabled (for Office people):
        
        *) Enable PhotoWorks add-in
        *) Edit your toolbars-> Command tab-> 'View' -> drag the 'Edit RealView Appearance' button to an easy to access place (if you don't have it somewhere already)
        
        *) Make sure RealView is disabled
        *) PhotoWorks-> Options-> enable 'Display PhotoWorks appearances in SW OpenGL'
        
        Ha! Now your color button is disabled!! You *must* assimilate and use the new 'Edit RealView Appearance' button.
        
        So why go through all of this trouble? Because now you don't have to enable RealView first, just to be able to use that button. It will also prepare you for.....
        
        the future............ you'll see.

        Thanks for the tip.
        
        RE: Beta 2009, you know what I'm working on, I don't have much time for Beta testing!
