Sketch lines light green color

I am trying to do a cutaway view on a drawing I'm working on so I use the sketch tools to define the cutaway area. The sketch lines are light green but I would like them black for visability reasons. I've searched high and low for the color setting but can't find it. Help!

constrain all of the lines or turn the tools, aplication options, colour tab to sky, (your unconstrained lines will be dark blue)

Why do you need the sketch to be in black? When you do the break out view,
the sketch will be consumed and so you won't see it.

Regards,

Chris

The green is only displayed in the context of the sketch editing environment
and (like modeling sketches) the green color indicates that the sketch
elements are unconstrained. Once you leave the sketch environment, the
elements are displayed by layer or by a color override (from Properties in
context menu).

Of course, if the end result of this sketch is going to be a breakout
operation, as Chris mentioned, its going to get consumed and displayed as a
model edge anyway.

I have had the same problem before with black or green parts that I
depending on if the line is constrained / unconstrained I can't see a
thing.

I usually change the part back to default color prior to my edit in
that case and change the color back to the real color afterwards.

There's a little color scheme application that ships in our SDK samples (R11
only I believe):

\Program Files\Autodesk\Inventor 11\SDK\Tools\Users

This is an unsupported, sample application but may work for you.

unfortunately the colour editor does not work on a 64 bit system. Fatal
error each and every time.
I realy want to adjust some colours that are very hard to see.
I am using Winter Day as the best solution but it is far from ideal.

Hello,

It seems as though you have resolved the problem because you asked this question in 2006. I hope all is going well and you are still loving the Autodesk product, Inventor!

Best,
