Parts list highlight color

scott_ainsworth — Tue, 23 Apr 2024 21:39:42 GMT

I like the new (2024) feature to highlight parts in a drawing view when they are selected in the Parts List. However, the dark green color does not jump out at me. Does anyone know if there is a way to adjust that color? Application options, XML, or registry. I would like to make it a bright red or orange so it pops out at me.

Hi Scott,

You may want to look into Tools -> App Options -> Colors -> Customize Color Scheme.

Many thanks!

When selecting a larger part, it works okay. But when you select a smaller part like a screw, it's still hard for me to find it even on this very small assembly.

I looked there first, but I could not identify which color to adjust. I thought someone might know already.

Turns out this is a document setting. I'm not sure why, It seems like it would be more user dictated than document setting. It does not really impact the final document.
