I have recently installed NX8. when i am in MFG and i use verify toolpath, the model colors change to a pale yellow. After I finish the verify, this change does not go away, unless i close the file and reopen. This wasnt occurring with NX7. Any other users finding this?

thanks

I have never seen this. The only place I know that allows permanent changing of the face colors in the NC Assistant.

First, I would go to preferences, color palette, and load the system color palette, so we can talk about colors.

Is this milling or turning?

Is this in verify replay or 2D dynamic or 3D dynamic?

What exactly changes? The original part solid? the blank? the IPW?

This occurs in milling. 2d dynamic. the original part solid changes color to a pale yellow as soon as i click on verify toolpath. however after i run my verify and then save, close the file and reopen, the part solid is back to its correct color.

I have tried refresh and regenerate work, to no avail.

thanks
