change color of drawing sheet

Anonymous — Fri, 17 Dec 2004 12:54:39 GMT

I have to change the color of the sheet inside a drawing file from default to white.
How can I do that?
I have to do that by a macro, but I cannot find the property that changes the color of the sheet.

Open the IDW file and then go to "Tools" > "Document Settings..." in the menu. then select the "Sheet " tab and change the color swatch for "Sheet" to white. Do this in your template file to have the same in all new drawings. -- Phil Kenewell ---------------------- Gage Designer North American Lighting, Inc.

This I know but I'd like to change the color by a macro....my aid is to do a macro which automatically switches the color from default to white,then saves the file and switches the color to default again.
But I cannot find the property in VBA that is connected to the color of the sheet

I'd like to change the color of a drawing view ( an assembly or a part of an assembly in a drawing view in fact ) but i can't figure out where to find this kind of properties in the DrawingView object This might no be available yet, since DrawingView are quite new features in the API ... . nicolas

The API supports the setting the sheet color in R11. Note, however, that
this is controlled via a document setting and hence the color change applies
to all sheets in the document. Here is a sample (will work R11 onwards):

Sub SheetColor()
Dim oDoc As DrawingDocument
Set oDoc = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument

Dim oSheetSettings As SheetSettings
Set oSheetSettings = oDoc.SheetSettings

Dim oColor As Color
Set oColor = ThisApplication.TransientObjects.CreateColor(200, 200, 200)

oSheetSettings.SheetColor = oColor
End Sub

Hi there,

is there a way to change the code so the color can also be set back to the origin?

for example;

my sheet is yellow, set them to white and by pusing again, back to yellow?

regards,

Justin
