Sketch colors not what I expected

Anonymous — Thu, 21 Dec 2017 12:10:52 GMT

In various instructional videos, it is said that a fully constrained sketch item turns black. Mine turn white.

I can deal with that. What it more troubling is that when a sketch item is NOT fully constrained, it is the same color as a projected line. That purple kinda color (hay...I'm a guy.).

Can someone help me understand why mine is different and maybe how I can get it back to the defaults.

I attached a screen capture to demonstrate.

Thanks. Preston.

Some of the environments use a different color set for sketches. What is your environment set to? Frustrating to not have a table telling us what is what.

Did you happen to get one for the different types of tool paths in CAM also?

No, unfortunately I didn't see such a thing. Here is a link to all the sessions regarding CAM that are now online though:

That explains EVERYTHING. I'm in the Gray Room!

Thanks so much for posting this. Would be nice if these types of references were somewhere online.

Ya...and when in the gray room, the difference between an actual line and a projected line is indistinguishable.

Sure glad I am not color blind.
