Looked on the forums here, saw a couple of threads on similar topics, but no answers to my question...not an urgent issue by any means...just an annoyance.
I cannot find a way to change the default "draft analysis" colors permanently (or even semi-permanently). I prefer setting the "Positive draft" to Blue, leaving the "Requires Draft" at Yellow, and the "Negative draft" at Red. This makes it easier (IMO) to see small non-drafted areas in a zoomed out view of the model.
Several years (SW versions) back, we used to be able to change the colors in the dialog box and as long as you hit the "OK" button, it would retain that color change. At some point, this functionality seems to have disappeared. Now, every time you open the Draft Analysis, the "Positive draft" resets back to its default light green color, regardless of what it was set at the last time the draft analysis tool was used.
Is there anyway to change this permanently, or semi-permanently (at least for the entire open session). I did not see anything in the "Options/System Options/Colors" that can change this either. Is this just no longer available anymore?? If it's gone, why did it go away??
I have been bringing this up ever since they changed it. I always use the "gradual transition" style of draft analysis, and the default colors are DANGEROUS!!! When the "gradual transition" box is checked, SW defaults to showing areas with zero draft AND areas with adequate draft in the negative direction as THE SAME COLOR...Red. There is most likely a way to change it...deep in the system registry...I don't mess around there unless directed to. But my complaints seem to fall on deaf ears and blind eyes. I've submitted it as a bug/problem/EC...a LONG time ago...SPR#546502 & ER#1-1695757974 (which SW closed). This is one of those "thumb-tack on the chair" problems...it becomes a major PITA, but doesn't have a huge impact on workspeed...so SW just ignores the moans of the users impacted by it.
