try this:

Dim oApp As Application
    Dim oDD As DrawingDocument
    Dim oSht As Sheet
    Dim oDV As DrawingView
   
    oApp = ThisApplication
    oDD = oApp.ActiveDocument
   
    For Each oSht In oDD.Sheets

First, 

I want check you drawing.

1. Select thread edge.

2. Identify, layer Name is?

i tried with change layer color and it works but many of line has same layer so once i change thread layer then it takes all edges color. so using i logic i have created new layer and set the color and want to give same new layer color to thread feature.

i hope it can clear.

Thanks in advance.

Cheers!!

By default, thread edge save in Layer with name Visible Narrow (ISO).

so update my code,

    Dim oLayer As Layer
    oLayer = oDD.StylesManager.Layers.Item("Visible Narrow (ISO)")
   
    Dim MyColor As Color
    MyColor = oApp.TransientObjects.CreateColor(255, 0, 0)
   
    oLayer.Color = MyColor

See Below rule which i have applied to copy new layer and set color of this layer.

now i want to set this new layer color to thread feature only.

SyntaxEditor Code Snippet

        Dim oDD As DrawingDocument

        oDD = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument

        Dim oL As Layer

        oL = oDD.StylesManager.Layers("Hidden (ISO)").Copy("Thread Line")

        Dim oC As Inventor.Color

        oC = ThisApplication.TransientObjects.CreateColor(255, 0, 0)

        Call oC.SetColor(255, 0, 0)

        oL.Color = oC

Hi,

I think it must be difference, between VISIBLE (ISO) and VISIBLE NARROW (ISO)

Visible (ISO) are normal line/edge

Visible Narrow (ISO) are Thread line/edge

maybe you wrong about that.
