    When I'm looking through an assy in wire frame every thing is black line.
    How can I get the wire frames to appear in part designated color?

    Aaron,
    In the assembly right click the part and go appearance, color...
    It will only change the color of the part in that assembly but it will give
    you multi color wire frame.

    Thanks. A bit of a pain. Wonder why it doesn't default.

  4. Aaron,
    Go to tools>options>colors and de-select "Use specified color for Shaded
    With Edges mode. It should use the part color after that.

    Nope. He's looking at wireframe, not shaded with edges.

    You're (probably) using the default wireframe color in all your parts

    Try this:
    Tools/Options/DocumentProperties/Color
    check box-- Apply same color to Wireframe/HLR/and Shaded

    That option is grayed out in my Assembly file.
