How does one change the text colour of the FEA results colour/scale bar?

 

I have change the back ground to white via the "Presentation" colour scheme, but on selecting "Presentation" the back ground goes white, but the colour bar text also remains white and hence not visible. How do I get around this issue?

 

I would like the text colour on the colour bar to be black, as I would like to have a white back ground for print friendliness.  

 

I found this related topic... https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/inventor-forum/color-bar-value-missing/td-p/7523701/page/2 but the behaviour shown in the video is not what I'm experiencing.  When I change to a white background e.g. "Presentation" the text remains white.

So this actually worked:) Kind of a pain, but it worked.... I set the back scheme to "Presentation" and then closed Inventor, open it back up (unfortunately I had to re-run the simulation, as Inventor doesn't seem to be able to load up previous results), re-ran the simulation, and whala the text on the FEA result scale/colour bar is black and I have a print friendly white background:)    

Thank you

Nothing here helps, does it?

I couldn't see anything that might control that.

 

You did have it set to Presentation before running it, right? You didn't just go in afterwards to make the background white and the text stayed white, you had the background white already and then the text still came in as white.

 

I haven't used it in a while, is there a way to print a "report"? I think that gave a white background - are you trying to use screen captures?

Correct, nothing under the "Customize scheme" had any effect on the text colour of the colour/scale bar.  I was able to change back ground colours easy enough though. 

 

It seems that the text colour automatically changes to between white and black during start of Inventor to give best contrast to the background colour set prior to shutdown.  No I haven't tried to print a report, as I need to screen capture specific views.
