Changing Sketch Line Colors

[kmcgheeCMFPG]

Is there any way to change the color of the sketch lines, when using an attached canvas, if its black it makes it very hard to see what I am drawing.

Unfortunately no, as what I know Fusion does not allow you to change sketch geometry. Colors in Fusion 360 shows a different states of the geometry (fully constrained or not, fix or unfixed). here  reference of alike question that has been answered by the Software Architect of Fusion https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/fusion-360-design-validate/can-i-change-the-color-of-individual-lines... Thank you

Hi @kmcgheeCMFPG,

Thanks for your Post and sorry for you experience with sketch

You interested into change the color for sketch line But I think its not possible to change sketch line color.

Because it get varies based on your environment setting, For every environment there have default color scheme for Sketch line, construction line, fully constraint line, center line etc.

But Please provide me any screen cast where and which environment setting you facing this issue, then I can raise this issue with respective team and try to find out good solution for this.

Thanks,

Sagar

@patilsm, I respectfully submit that a good solution would be for the line colors of the various states be user selectable. This has been submitted before, but doesn't seem to be very high on AD's todo list.  This is a huge deal from a user experience standpoint (for instance, I've worked with people who just weren't able to see the difference between the red of a project line in an active sketch vs the lighter red of a projected sketch in an inactive sketch.)

Hi,

It's true that you can't change the colors like the others said above, and I sometimes have this kind of problem when using a canvas

But there are somethings that can make it easier to see your lines, such as :

Right-click the canvas from the browser and hit edit, then decrease the opacity of the canvas, and you can also place your canvas on an offset plan away from the sketching plane to avoid overlapping between the sketch and the canvas

I hope that helps

Thanks the opacity suggestion solved the issue, never thought of that. Thanks for your help!!

I understand that colors are set to mean different state. I'm fine with that.

Where can I figure out which state is which color? 

Black: Fully constrained?

Brown:?

Green:?

Purple?

etc.

Ok. I figured it out. Here it the color key for sketches
