Step 113D CAD - Options - Color Scheme
-
Click the “Color Scheme” tab
Color Scheme’s define colors used for reference geometry, parts, and the background in both the part and assembly workspaces. It is be a very useful way to identify edges, faces, sketches, dimensions, mouse over (hover) locations, and selections in the workspace.
Four Color Schemes are preset, and you can use them as a base to modify to create your own named color scheme, which can be saved or deleted, but the presets cannot be deleted.
Color Schemes are personal preferences only, affecting the display of all models, not for specific parts or assemblies.
You can create a new color scheme by selecting a color scheme that is close to what you like, then clicking the ‘New’ button – which will use the base colors in the color scheme you began with before clicking the ‘New’ button – and allow you to make changes.
- We will make one small change for this default file -
1 - Below “Scheme” – Click the selector Triangle, and choose: “Dark Background Scheme”,
2 - Click the “New” Button, and enter the name “Tutorials – mm”, Click ‘OK’
3 - Make sure “Category” = ‘General’,
4 - Below “Field” – make sure ‘Background Top’ is displayed or click the selector triangle and choose it,
5 - Click the color bar (black) to the right of it – and select a white box in the color selector that opens (lower right hand corner), - Click ‘OK’ to accept the color and preview the approximate effect in the preview window,
6 - Click ‘OK’ in the Dialog bottom to accept the new color scheme and close the Dialog.
(You can experiment more – but this is what we will be using in this tutorial set.)
