Issues with preselection highlighting of sketcher constraints, and with the highlight color.

[johan.rutgeerts]

Hi,

I often have difficulties in a sketch to find out which geometry is referenced by a constraint.

I noticed some odd behaviour on preselection highlighting, see this screencast.

Am I missing something obvious, or is this inconsistent behaviour?

Re. the colour of the highlighting: 

As constrained geometry is black, it is hard to distinguish the dark blue preselection highlighting.

I looked for a way to change the colour, and found reference on the forum to some XML files.

I found this post on where to find those files, but I don't know which entity to change in that file to change the preselection highlighting.

Thanks for any info,

Johan

Please see if your concern is similar to this thread.

@abhinav_singh  Thanks for pointing out that thread, I had searched the forum but apparently with wrong keywords as I didn't see it.

It's similar, however my screencast shows extra issues, so imo it's worth to have a look and also include this in your improvement ticket.

Are you're responsible for the sketcher? If so I kindly invite you to also have a look at this thread on dragging of partially constrained geometry and this post about underconstrained geometry being black instead of blue.   

Thank you,

Johan

While I am not the point contact for this module of Fusion 360, I have added a link to this thread on our internal improvement ticket (mentioned in the other thread) and have requested the concerned team to look into your suggestions as well.
