Geometry Colors

[Anonymous]

Hi, I'm new to Inventor and my color settings are still set to the defaults, in which unconstrained geometry is Green and constrained is Blue. I just realized that when i'm changing a parameter to a specific size, the geometry turns Grey. For example: I've set a parameter to 64mm. which has turned the sketch Blue being fully constrained. than i've changed the parameter to different sizes up & down, and it still stays Blue as long it's constrained, but somehow when i'm changing to parameter to 36mm. the geometry turns Grey... Can anyone explain me that??

Hi @Anonymous,

and welcome to the community 

Just to save some time, can you please upload the part or send me a screencast of what you are describing?

Which Inventor Version do you use?

Ok, first guess is that the width should not be smaller than 2 times the thickness... but only guessing. I need the dataset. Can you upload it?

Thanks

Hi @Anonymous,

what happend here? Your screencast is gone and I still have no file to examine. Is everything ok? Do you want to give it another try or has your question been answered? Would you want to share your experience with the readers?

Any feedback is appreciated.

Thanks

Hi @Anonymous,

I hope you've fixed your little internet issue...

Screencast is still missing and if you manage to attach the file we can go on troubleshooting 

Thanks
