Timeline Display Change?

[Anonymous]

I have been trying ot change the appearance of some objects and my design keeps reverting to yellow. Then I noticed a yellow line above my timeline. A check of other drawings shows that each time line has a color above it. Yellow, blue, Lt. Blue and Purple on my currently open drawings. The objects in each drawing match the color of this line. What does it mean? How can I get the appearance to match the settings?

Talking about drawings is confusing, I think you're talking about models\designs, drawings are 2d. The colours are component colouring, press Shift+N to toggle, each component is assigned a colour, there are only 10 colours so you pretty quickly end up with several components with the same colour. So although it helps you track what feature goes with what component it still can get confusing. If you follow Rule #1 and make and activate components it will help.

Shift N cured it. It was starting to drive me crazy.
