Re: Canvas Colour
I am able change the background color as you tell. But though background color is orange, particular file in the folder seems white color. Is there any way to change this color as well?

Re: Canvas Colour
The background colour change only affects the view when looking at the part in the graphics area (working screen).
When looking at parts through explorer, all backgrounds will be white I believe Maha.

*** EDIT ***
I keep my components saved in separate files which works for me, Example :-
>(PROJECT NAME) folder
>(Parts) File
>(Assemblies) File
>(Sub-Assy) File
>(Drawings) File
>(Notes) File

Re: Canvas Colour
This is what exactly I want. If I can correctly remember some where I saw an assembly folder can have 500 part files in that case how to differentiate part files and sub-assembly files.

I have never heard of this limitation.
Can you find the reference to this information?

Re: Canvas Colour
I think he is giving an example that a folder with 500 files, then how to differentiate between them. So I'm sure he is not talking about folder limitation to have 500 files only.

Re: Canvas Colour
OK, I think I understand the issue now.
You are asking if there is something like this that you can use to define the Windows Explorer preview image to color code for visual file management purposes.

Re: Canvas Colour
IPN is an Autodesk Inventor presentation file format
Each tool has it's pro and cons and you would find people always criticizing the tools they do not use or work with.
I've also taught students/egnineers as well as worked on Autodesk Inventor but for my own reason I love working on SOLIDWORKS.

Re: Canvas Colour
I keep separate folder for each assembly. Which can have part files, sub-assembly files and assembly file for that parts, and drawing file as well. This is what I know.

Re: Canvas Colour
If you are using Windows 10, and NOT using a PDM software, then you can hit the view tab and turn on file name extensions.
Part files and assembly files and drawing files all have different extensions;;
Then just sort by type.
If you are using windows 7 or something other, this can also be done, it is just slightly different. Just google how to show file extensions for your OS.
