Section Colors

Hello,

When doing a cross section of an assembly, several of the parts cross
sectonal view are the same color.

What I mean is that if the various parts have different color, let's
say red, blue, green, yellow; in the section thickness the color of
one or more parts could take the color of another part, like blue.

It's hard to tell the difference between the 2 parts that have the
same color.

Does anyone have the same problem? This happens in Wildfire 2 & 3.

Hopefully my explanation is clear enough.

Thanks!

 

Why wouldn't they all be in the same color? Where do you get the expectation that
they should be different? that model color should be preserved as section outline
color? BTW, all mine are black, taken from the config option "section_color" set
to default which means it goes by what your system color for "Letter" is set to.
The alternative is to set "section_color" to drawing where drawing color may be
set to PART COLOR. Convoluted, wouldn't you say!?! in the EXTREME, maybe?

Uh, oh, this sounds suspiciously like hole and mating shaft both at nominal, no
allowance in either part... shame, shame.

You did pretty well, lots better than some. Few are ever clear or detailed enough.
For example, when I try to picture myself asking a question here, of people who
are NOT looking over my shoulder and have no clue as to how I got in the pickle
I'm currently in, I try to imagine dealing with PTC online tech support: they go
through a drill, asking a ton of seemingly irrelevant questions, for a reason ~
that's how their AI software works, branching logic, general to particular, "find
the lion in the Sahara", narrow in down, subdivide/test, subdivide/test, along a
particular track, see if it leads to the lion (or at least water). Here, we have
trouble finding out what someone is trying to do, much less, what module they're
workiing in.

 

Yes, it does that. In the view manager dialogue box, right click on the
section and check 'visibility' which turns on the hatch lines - this
should make it a bit clearer.
