Hi all,
My company recently started switching over from AutoCAD to Inventor for producing drawing packages. We nailed down a process and everything seemed to be working fine until one of our drafters went to the Application Options --> Colors tab --> In-canvas Color Scheme, and changed it from light to dark background.
Our design process involves creating a part file with only a sketch in it to use as an outline for constraining other parts within an assembly file. Within this sketch file we include a second sketch that contains text boxes. This text is supposed to carry over into our assembly drawing files. Using the default light background, creating a new text box makes the text come out black, and with the dark background the text comes out purple.
There are two problems with the color scheme change that I am hoping to resolve. First, when my coworker opens an assembly file that I originally created, the text in the file is still black, despite his background also being black, so obviously he can't see any of it. Is there no way to separate an objects "actual" color from the user interface theme? Secondly, when he creates a drawing file, the text carries over as purple onto the drawing sheet and prints in purple too, despite all layers being set to black. I know there is an option to set all layers to print black, but we do need to keep the option to print one of our drawing layers in red. Is there any way to make this setup work? I am not super concerned with the first issue, as we very rarely collaborate on projects here, but we do need a way to make sure that all text carried over from the 3D model files prints in black from the drawing files.
Thanks.
