I've been going around on this for over week and still am not clear on how this works. This has to be one of the more frustrating aspects of NX. I have a simple one part assembly I've been playing around with to try to understand better how colors work, and I have a question about something I'm noticing.
If I make part_A the work part, set the select filter to "solid body", select the body in the graphics window, and then use Edit Object Display to change it's color, it changes as expected. In this case I changed it to green.
However, if I now make the work part (part_A) the displayed part, it's color changes to red. Why?
I'm guessing when the diplayed part is set to be the assembly and I select a solid body, am I actually selecting the solid body of the component. Is that right? If so, what am I selecting when the selection filter is changed from "solid body" to "component"?
I think the root of my confusion is not understanding what I've been selecting. For most things it has not been a problem, but for colors it definitely matters!
Thanks for any help with this. I appreciate it.
