All sketch lines are light grey.

[Anonymous]

Dear forum members,

For some reason Fusion 360 thought thought all the sketch lines of a particular model would look great in light grey color.

While I appreciate the artistic value, I think readability is more important in this case. Is there a way to pick more contrasting sketch line colors and if so, how ?

Hi,

This normally only occurs when one component is activated, but not the primary one.

check your settings:

Thanks for the suggestion. I unchecked that box and nothing seems to have changed.

I was wrong. The model consists of one component and its subcomponents. The sketches of those components are light grey. However, the main sketches have more readable colors.

So, I looked through the right-click menu of that component and there is a command called 'Opacity Control'. Choosing 100% for that improved the sketch colors.

Obviously the documentation doesn't mention that. Hence the follow-up question : Why ?
