Summary


Details

The user encountered difficulty displaying edge colors of a part in draft mode. While successfully showing different edge colors in assembly mode, attempts to replicate this for a single part with multiple colors only resulted in light grey edges in the draft view.

Solution

To display part edge colors in the draft file, follow these steps:

Access Color Manager:

Open the part file in Solid Edge and navigate to the Color Manager.

Modify Base Part Color:

Identify the base part color setting in the Color Manager.


Ensure that the base color is correctly configured to reflect the desired color of the part.


Update Draft Views:

After adjusting the base part color, save the changes and update the linked draft file.


Verify Results:

Open the draft file and update the views to reflect the changes made in the Color Manager.

The part's edge colors should now correspond to the updated base part color set in the Color Manager.


By following these steps, you can successfully display the edge colors of a part in the draft file according to the specified part colors.
