2) I don't know (never needed to)

thank you, very much !!

Goto View -> Colors & Appearances. From this property shee you can change the color

One way to have all parts start out in another color other than gra

would be to create a start part and define the color to be what yo want

Hope this helps, Glenn |B

You'll want to save that .map file if you want it to be the same next time you open it otherwise you'll have to change it again
