Default part color

Change it on your template part file (?)

Big Al,

Sean is correct.

1. Start a new part.
2. Select the name in the feature manager and change the color.
3. "Save as" file type "Part template"

anywhere.

I have a heap of different part templates for the different materials and each has a different colour, material densities, cross hatching, number of decimal places, custom properties pre-loaded, etc.

Beware of using the standard part template if you need the get the mass properties from the part/assembly - it's default density is 1000 kg/m3 (i.e the density of water), whereas steel is 7850 kg/m3.

Thanks for the info guys,editing the template was the answer to my problem.Interesting what you say there Merry about setting up things further,i'm starting to be a template setup expert.

To expand on thay even further, you can even save a standard profile as a template. Eg I have all of the BHP Australian steel profiles (compete with design table for all the sizes) saved as templates.
