Is it possible to edit the color and line style of the explode line sketch? Seems like I'm missing something obvious, but I can not find it. Our Manufacturing Engineers would like the ability to edit these so the lines can be seen better in some instances. The black phantom lines can be easily obscured.
Thanks in advance,

John,
I've been playing with this as well and have not found a solution. I'm just tagging this with a response so I can look later.
Thanks Scott. No other responses after 1,100+ views, so I've submitted the same question to my reseller. I'll post back what they say. -John
Short answer is, "No." Here's the answer from my reseller:
Thank you for contacting Hawk Ridge Systems. Unfortunately this is a current limitation within Solidworks to be able to edit the color of an explode line sketch. There is already a standing enhancement request with Solidworks under SPR 556525: "It should be possible to edit the explode line sketch color and sketch line type ( route line )". I have already added one vote for the enhancement listing the problem description you wrote below. Unfortunately this issue is in the hands of the Solidworks development team and they have yet to post a target fix date for the issue. Feel free to log in to the Solidworks Customer Portal and cast a vote on the SPR from your name as well. Sorry for the inconvenience.
I voted for the SPR. Seems like something SW developers just missed/forgot. Oh well.
