    SW 2006 on Vista sp1

    How to change colors on imported DWG files?

    SP3.1 2007 I have opened a DWG file in Solidworks. The parts were drawn on layers and hence differant colors. How can I change the colors in Solidworks to be able to see the parts and dimension them? (Yellow on white background sucks.)

When I click on a pocket, I don't see the...
