Section Colors

Hello,

When doing a cross section of an assembly, several of the parts cross sectonal view are the same color.

What I mean is that if the various parts have different color, let's say red, blue, green, yellow; in the section thickness the color of one or more parts could take the color of another part, like blue.

It's hard to tell the difference between the 2 parts that have the same color.

Does anyone have the same problem? This happens in Wildfire 2 & 3.

Hopefully my explanation is clear enough.

Thanks!

Why wouldn't they all be in the same color? Where do you get the expectation that they should be different? that model color should be preserved as section outline color? BTW, all mine are black, taken from the config option "section_color" set to default which means it goes by what your system color for "Letter" is set to. The alternative is to set "section_color" to drawing where drawing color may be set to PART COLOR. Convoluted, wouldn't you say!?! in the EXTREME, maybe?

Uh, oh, this sounds suspiciously like hole and mating shaft both at nominal, no allowance in either part... shame, shame.

You did pretty well, lots better than some. Few are ever clear or detailed enough. For example, when I try to picture myself asking a question here, of people who are NOT looking over my shoulder and have no clue as to how I got in the pickle I'm currently in, I try to imagine dealing with PTC online tech support: they go through a drill, asking a ton of seemingly irrelevant questions, for a reason ~ that's how their AI software works, branching logic, general to particular, "find the lion in the Sahara", narrow in down, subdivide/test, subdivide/test, along a particular track, see if it leads to the lion (or at least water). Here, we have trouble finding out what someone is trying to do, much less, what module they're workiing in.

Yes, it does that. In the view manager dialogue box, right click on the section and check 'visibility' which turns on the hatch lines - this should make it a bit clearer.
