eDrawings; why is model / drawing green?

[williedawg]

using SW2006.

For an assembly, when I save as "eDrawing (*.easm)";
or for a drawing, save as "eDrawings (*edrw)"

why do the models and drawings all appear as a solid dark green color;
can't seem to find what setting changes that either in the eDrawings EModelViewer Module or when initially doing the "save as" in SW.

Does this have anything to do with having eDrawings Professional, or not?
What am I missing here?

I've never seen or heard of that before.

What graphics card and driver are you using?

Dell Presicion 490 computer wiht NVIDIA Quadro FX550
(not sure if this is driver, but found......)
nv4_mini.sys listed under the Drivers menu.

This is what I'm seeing when opening an *.easm file...hopefully the jgp shows up; 1st time for trying this

When I select/highlight a component from my eDrawing feature tree it turns that colour green.

I can’t see the eDrawing feature tree from your jpg file so just wondering if the part was unintentionally selected/highlighted in your eDrawing.

I remember this being a known issue back quite a while ago. Probably around the 2006 time frame. What service pack of Edrawings/SolidWorks are you using? Besure you're on the newest. I believe it was 5.1 back then. You could also download a newer version of just Edrawings free version for comparison if there is any difference.

OK, I was going to download the newer version of eDrawings to my computer....but where the heck does it go????

Also, on SW software download page, it says "eDrawings, Version 2009 , Service Pack 2.0"

Is this going to work with 2006?

It may be due to the fact that in Solidworks, the parts are set to transparent.

I had this issue before with my seat of 2006; you need to right click it in Solidworks and change transparancy back to opaque, then after saving as an Edwg, reset it to be transparent then resave the EDWG.

Just a possible reason. I know it happens on my system.
