why do my parts often change to a gold color and all of the lines become very thick?

[Thunderbird336]

The parts that do this are imported from SolidWorks, I have attached a screen shot. I am working in NX8 and using the Manufacturing function. The only way I can get it back to the normal color is to switch to Part Navigator and uncheck the model but that means I have to regenerate all toolpaths. When the part changes to this color and lineweight, it is really difficult, if even possible, to accurately pick lines and surfaces to machine.

Thanks in advance,
Gary

That looks like the default "selected" color. If you don't want that body (or component) selected, press [kbd]Esc[/kbd] to un-select it.

Sometimes it happens when you aren't working on a native NX part but a STL or STEP part.
