Colors in sketch

[taik]

Hi, I'm using WF2. There's a problem when we are using 2D sketch.


The dimension color and the sketch color are the same. It always confuse us. Do anyone know how to change the color to be different? I remembered in 2001, the colors are different. Thanks.

You can modify your .scl file... You can set the path using 'system_colors_file' in your config.pro file. The .scl file should just be a text file that looks something like this:


USE_PRE_WILDFIRE_COLOR_SCHEME NO
SYSTEM_BACKGROUND_COLOR 20.000000 19.607843 18.039216
SYSTEM_DIMMED_MENU_COLOR 36.862745 36.470588 34.901961
SYSTEM_LETTER_COLOR 100.000000 100.000000 0.000000
SYSTEM_HIGHLIGHT_COLOR 58.039216 0.000000 16.078431
SYSTEM_EDGE_HIGH_COLOR 21.568627 100.000000 14.901961
SYSTEM_GEOMETRY_COLOR 100.000000 100.000000 100.000000

SYSTEM_VOLUME_COLOR 50.588235 0.000000 68.235294
SYSTEM_SECTION_COLOR 20.392157 62.745098 93.725490

SYSTEM_SECONDARY_SELECTED_COLOR 100.000000 54.117647 0.000000
SYSTEM_PREVIEW_GEOM_COLOR 100.000000 100.000000 0.000000
SYSTEM_SECONDARY_PREVIEW_COLOR 98.823529 100.000000 77.647059
SYSTEM_DATUM_COLOR 66.666667 46.274510 21.960784
SYSTEM_QUILT_COLOR 92.941176 25.098039 78.039216
UI_EDITABLE_AREA_COLOR default
UI_SELECTED_AREA_COLOR default
UI_BACKGROUND_COLOR default
UI_SELECTED_TEXT_COLOR default
UI_TEXT_COLOR default
BLENDED_BACKGROUND yes
SYSTEM_TOP_BLENDING_COLOR 61.960784 60.784314 56.862745
SYSTEM_BOTTOM_BLENDING_COLOR 89.019608 88.235294 83.529412


The values are RGB percentages. To change the sketch geometry modify 'system_preview_geom_color'.

Hi, Mike,


Thanks for your help.

I'm not sureif you understand what I need. Attachment is the picture when I start a sketch. You can see the color of the line and the dimension are the same (though the text is different color). Sometimes when we work on complex sketch, the same color always confuse us. That's why I'm asking for help to find anyway to change the color.

Try changing 'system_secondary_preview_color'.

This should change your sketch color but it will also change the dimension witness line color.


'SYSTEM_SECTION_COLOR 20.392157 62.745098 93.725490'


You could change to 'PREWILDFIRE' colors then the witness lines are the same as the dimension text.

Hey, I just find out the solution.Change "USE_PRE_WILDFIRE_COLOR_SCHEME" to "YES" and the colors are changed like 2001.


Thanks your help!!
