Schematic color scheme

Is there a way to change schematic color scheme from the Eagle scheme to Fusion360 electronics and vice versa?

That setting enables the possibility to change between Light and Dark but not from the eagle color scheme to the default Fusion360. Is there something else I am missing?

Hi @ruben.crispino,

I hope you're doing well. By default, we are now shipping with the old EAGLE colors if I remember correctly. With that said if that's not what you are seeing you can grab the old defaultcolors.scr from your EAGLE installation and run it in Fusion 360. That will get you the colors you want.

Let me know if there's anything else I can do for you.

Best Regards,

Thanks Jorge!
I actually find the way to use the old EAGLE colors (which was not the default in my case) just today but was wondering if there was a setting to revert back to the Fusion360 colors (orange components just to be clear)

Hi @ruben.crispino,

I hope you're doing well. If you go into Fusion 360 > Preferences > Electronics > Color there is a button that says reset to default colors. Click it and that should get you the colors back. You can always change the colors to whatever palette you prefer.

Best Regards,

The Eagle color palete was good for PDF or on printed paper. But old Fusion360 colors was good for eyes in dark mode. It would be great if there was an option to change color palete for output (documentation / printing), not just color or black.

I have set new default colors (as in eagle). How can I switch it back to old Fusion360 color palete? Is there option to save a few color paletes (global, not just for one design)?

Thanks

Hello @gjepali ,

I hope you're doing well. You can export a palette configuration to an EAGLE script file using the exp-palette.ulp that comes with Fusion. You could then run the script whenever you want to change the colors. Running scripts can also be tied to shortcuts so if this is something you do often, setting it as a shortcut would help a lot.

Let me know if there's anything else I can do for you.

Best Regards,
