The model I have been working on has been trying to change it's colour all day. Finally I had a crash 'graphics adapter stopped working' and when I re-opened the model it had gone all blue. The top level assembly is all blue but the subassemblies are the proper colours when you open them.
I'm updating my graphics driver which should maybe stop the problem re-ocurring but in the meantime I need to get my top level assembly to display as per the colours in the sub assemblies.
I use gimp to make layered stencils for spray painting...I reduce it to a couple of colours, seperate the colours into different layers and then cut them out...
When I do im left with a ghost type image where the original layer was..
example: [URL]...
Is there any way of avoiding this?
I get the colors right then I zoom in or change tools the color changes and then back again like skin goes all red magenta..I work in raw or psd when saving files wrong color occurs again in saved JPG even though color looked alright . Im using windows 8 64 CS6 Same thing occurs even when no plug ins loaded tried all color spaces also. I am not talking monitor to print difference either .
View 6 Replies View RelatedI use PSP X3 for web image editing and am sometimes sent jpeg files which are in CMYK format. Unfortunately PSP does not display the colours in these files correctly. Yellow will display as brown, pale blue as turquoise and pink as purple for example.
If I open the same file in almost any other programme, including the humble "Paint", the colours display fine and my workaround up until now has been to open in another programme, copy the picture to the clip board and then paste it into PSP as a new image. The colours are then fine but it greatly increases my work time, especially when I have many images to process.
Surely there must be a way to get these images to display correctly. It has nothing to do with monitor or gamma adjustment otherwise they would display incorrectly in all other programmes also.
Maybe it is a bug or just something that Corel have overlooked. RGB jpegs display fine, the problem only occurs with CMYK images.
i'm working on a job with 2 colours. I already did this using CMYK and setting 2 of them to 100% and the other 2 at 0%. But people who press these posters say me that they always have to convert the CMYK file to a 2 colours file. Is there a way to set my colours to 2 colours instead of 4?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have just installed IV 2013 Pro and I am having some issues with changes in the IPN transferring to the IDW. I changed the colour of a part in an assembly which transferred fine to the IPN, but the IDW did not update. I have tried turing off the visibility of the part in the browser in the IDW, then turning it on again, selecting the associative icon in the drawing view dialogue box, but still the view will not update. I even tried re-inserting the IPN in the IDW, still the colour had not updated. This is unacceptable. I do not have time to re-create all the IPN's.

View 4 Replies View RelatedSince version 2013 we got problems with how colours appear in the drawings.
They turn very dark. See the attached files.
It's important to us that white really shows as white.
When I click Application Options it opens up, but the window doesn't show up, eveything else in the program gets disabled and I am able to hit Esc to get out of it.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm looking at a way to edit the Application Options tab when a particular file is opened. For example, by loading file "template" it would set constraint options to a standard, set the background color of the application, etc. giving me a songle file to load my preferred settings.
For a first run example, need code such that when I open the file and run the rule, it would change the username from User to NWilson?
I'm very weak with the API code tools and structure, and I have zero VB experience. My train of thought is as follows:
Dim x = ThisApplication.GeneralOptions.UserName
If x = User
Then ThisApplication.GeneralOptions.UserName=NWilson

After setting the Application Options-File tab paths to our company standard and manually restarting IV the paths all revert to "%PUBLIC DOCUMENTS % default paths. Our IT guy is having the hardest time tracking down the root cause, Both users are on stand alone licenses.
1. Where does IV pick up these default file paths? Can I modify that .xml manually as a workaround?
2. How to identify the folders to look for that don't have adequate red-write permissions?
If we as a company already have our Inventor 2011 seats installed and we now want to 'push' out the company standard application options is there a way to do this other than using a manual import?

These Application Options settings change not infrequently and for reasons that I cannot be certain of:
Sketch:
Enable Heads-up Display
Edit Dimension when created
Look at sketch...on...creation
Part:
No new sketch goes to x-y plane
This may happen after when I open parts from Inventor 2011 (maybe 2010) into 2012, then create a new part. I would expect the 2012 App Options to be the master, so I don't know why a legacy part would be allowed to change those settings.

Is there a way to create a new sdf files with certain colour, transpacency etc (standard that i create) and not random colours?
View 2 Replies View Relatedeverytime that i try and match properties or change the line type by selecting a layer in the layer properites manager, all the lines stay the same (as if nothing has happened). the lines that i am selecting are not in blocks
why i can not change the lines types or colours?
I have a drawings with multiple layouts. In the first layout the whole drawing looks exactly like in does in model space, with reference to the colours. In the other layout the drawings all change colour to what they will look like when printed.
In these other layouts if I copy a viewport the colour returns, but if I change to another layout and back again then it reverts to what the original was. I have attached an image.
The copied vp is the one on top.
Like I said proably a quick fix but I dont know where to start. Is it something to do with Vp colour overrides?
I have a dynamic block and want to change its colour. I've gone into blockedit and made the change there however when I return to the drawing the colours haven't altered.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have an architects plan consisting of many different layers, I have exploded all the plan so that there are no blocks.
I have now created a layer called building. I have selected everything and and placed it on this layer. The layer colour is colour 8.
I now want everything to be by layer so that it is all colour 8. However when I select all (151038 items) and change it all to by layer nothing changes. All colours stay as they are.
But if I was to go and select a small area at a time it allows me to change them to by layer and the colours change to colour 8 as desired.
How to select all and select by layer and have all the colours change in one go rather than me going around the drawing selected sections at a time to make the colours change.
I have a building floor plan drawing which has many colours although the Layer Property Manager shows them as being all white so it seems every layer has had its colour modified manually.
it’s possible to set all layers back to their By Layer colour but take the manually modified colours with them?
I am plotting this using an OKI C821 colour printer.
It prints with gaps between the black text/lines and the red and green sectors.
I want to eliminate the gaps.
I have tried increasing`VIEWRES' to 20,000 and segements in a Pline arc to 1000.

I have a large symbols library and need to have 1 block name and count but be able to show them in different colours depending on where they are placed. (eg pink block at low level and green at high level, but when counted by block name it counts 2 not 1 green 1 pink).
Is there a way to automatically adjust the cut range colours (REDS) in the attached scheme such that the lighter colours denote lower cut depths in the same way that the fill range does (Greens)
I know they can be manually adjusted but when the analysis is run again the colours revert back

For the whole project we’ve had this issue, however it’s never effected our drawing until now.
When we receive an background, we use setbylayer to change everything to by layer, then in the layer manager, set the layer colour to 8, so all is grey.
Then we xref that background dwg into our model drawings and doodle all over the thing, pretty standard stuff.
But today, in our model drawing, I’d like to change, well, any of the xref’s layer colours, but I cannot! As soon as I make a change, it reverts back to the original ‘8’ colour. It refuses to change colour.
I’ve changed visretian from 0 to 1, open, closed, changed it again, all combinations but to no avail.
I can freeze, turn off & on layers, just not change the colour (or lineweight).
In the attached screencast video you will see that I have a drawing set up on the left of the screen to show where all the sections are taken through the building. I have setup a layer called SPC SECTION LINES which is set up to be bylayer and on the colour green.
When I XREF this drawing into the sheet file on the right side of the screencast you will see how the colour turns yellow when reference into the new sheet file?
Why does the colour of the line change when it gets xrefed into a new drawing?
the screen cast can be found at [URL]
My alignment ticks use the stanard Aecc Tick block. It is on layer 0/bylayer/bylayer etc and the style is set by layer. They display correctly in the source drawing but when I xref that drawing into others, the ticks change colour based on what every the current layer is in the host drawing. If the current layer is 0 they dispaly correctly, if my current layer has a colour 5 associated with it then my xref ticks regen to blue. This only happens with the tick not the text.
