Line colours in drawings

[Poorpaulus]

Is there a way of colouring the lines in a drawing so that they are the same as the model? I need to show a standard 3 view 2D drawing, but the assembly drawing is all one colour. I don't want to show it as a solid.

You can change component colors in an assembly drawing. In the model tree in an assembly drawing, expand an assembly so you can see the components. Right-click a component icon, and select "Component Line Font...". Uncheck "Use Defaults" and select a layer to place the component on. The component will take on the color of that layer.

I think the simplest (manual) way would be to place the parts on different layers & assign the required colours to those layers.
Reading between the lines, you're probably looking for an automatic solution, right? Maybe one of the forums Macro/VB/API gurus may be able to help.

CorBlimeyLimey,
Having this automated would be cool, but I am a happy bunny being able to do it manually (sounds a bit rude) for the moment.

Cheers guys,
