BINGO Kim this is what I would call a bug!
Yes when you bring it in on a sketch in an IDW you can right click after a
window select and change the colors back to "standard" THEN copy / paste the
objects into a sketch in IPT. There is no Properties menu option in the
right click menu after a window select in the IPT sketch mode.
How do you log a bug?
