    Imported drawings, layer colour

    Yep, i can turn layer visibility on or off from the layers palette. Colour display toggle works, as well as ctrl+selecting and using the line colour tool. Thanks Mate ! :)

    Imported drawings, layer colour

    Hi, I have 2 autocad dwg files that I'm importing into SW. Problem is, the drawings import in black, grey, pale yellow and pale cyan layers. Is there any way i can change those colours? Changing the default paper colour doesn't really help - I'm always left with 1 colour thats almost...

    Render Settings - Assy v Part

    I'm self taught on SW and Maya. With the help thats online and available with the package, the basics are easily learnt imo (and the plane is only what i'd consider basic - no complex surfaces etc.) PS - $5k??? - I have a paypal account and i am open to offers <grin>

    Well, after 2 weeks with the program, finally managed to get a half decent render done. My first ever SW project :) http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=6b245c29-55e3-4a72-9691-bce41020f883&file=picture.zip

    Render Settings - Assy v Part

    Thanks :) I'm learning SW after coming over from a Maya background. One of the hardest things imo is to actually stop thinking like a Maya user haha

    Render Settings - Assy v Part

    I realise that the scenes might add their own cast to the colours, but i took that into account. I think (after more studying) that i'm getting confused with appearance hierarchies. Thanks for the reply :)

    Using an assembly to cut a part.

    Using an assembly to cut a part.

    Hi - I'm hoping this is another 30 second question for someone 'in the know' :) I have a handle assembly with 2 screws running through it. The handle is then mated to a base. The front screw is fine, but i dont have a hole in the base for the rear screw. Can i use the screw itself to 'cut' its...

    Simple 'edge flange' problem

    Thankyou so much - i can feel my brain starting to revert to normal size already :) Sometimes it feels like its the smallest things to learn that give you the biggest headaches.

    Simple 'edge flange' problem

    Hi there, I'm hoping this is one of those silly questions that takes 5 seconds to answer. Having had the program for 4 days, 2 of those have involved trying to figure this out. Its a question about sheet metal edge flanges. I've attached a zip of 2 screens that might make things easier to...
