Feature Coloring

For better experience and easy distinguishing between the features, different colors are applied to the various types of features in the geometry. These colors are for visualization only and will never show in generated documents, paper space views, block inserts, etc.

The display of feature colors is controlled through the FEATURECOLORS system variable and a series of system variables, one for each feature color. Although the default feature colors are selected carefully to combine with each other, you can set them differently in the Sheet Metal settings group on the Settings dialog box.

To toggle the display of feature colors:
  • Click the Color Features tool button () on the Sheet Metal toolbar.
  • Click the Color Features tool button () on the Sheet Metal ribbon bar.
  • Choose Color Features in the Sheet Metal menu.
