Color formatting in BOM - 2009

How do I get the color formatting back in the BOM in 2009 like it was in
2007? I can't tell by looking at it anymore which cell formulas have be
overwritten.

Thanks

Hi Jason,

The color formatting in MDT 2009 is hard coded and we don't have a setting or registry edit to make it look like MDT 2007.



FYI: AutoCAD Mechanical 2010 has a functionality where the overridden cells will be highlighted in Blue color and a tooltip shows the evaluated/actual value.



Thanks,

So why wasn't the color formatting not carried over from previous version?
Was this just an oversight by Autodesk?

MDT 2008 is same as MDT 2009 wrt to color formatting in BOM.
