Re: Standard Content - Edit Appearance
@Breanna_Hayton It doesn't look like this has been released yet.
Having the appearance and also vendor be company defined parameters would make standard content useful for our group too.

Re: Standard Content - Edit Appearance
Would I be able to make a similar request?Jason_S said:@David_Harris_420 ,
You cannot change the color of standard content at this time. They are versioned parts and we do not have a mechanism for you to change colors of versioned parts. We could, in the future, include it as a company defined property much like standard content part number and description.
Not everyone wants content to be the color it exists as in real life. Some companies want different sizes or types of fasteners to be different colors to easily identify them on an assembly.
We will be adding you to an improvement request.
Thank you,

Re: Standard Content - Edit Appearance
Requested in 2018, does not appear to be delivered yet. This is not a critical issue for me, but it would be nice to have. I create a lot of screen shots and images from CAD and its important to be able to change the source colors without trying to post process color changes.
Re: Standard Content - Edit Appearance
Yes, count me in, for this is more important than it appears at first glance. Mounting instructions looking at least somewhat like the real thing is one reason. Color coding the material or class is another. At one point, with my old CAD, I started making all the fasteners and hardware we have in stock pink, and all that have to be made, modified or ordered green. Looks ugly, but the shop loved it. Now they ask why I stopped doing that. Also, for rendering, it allowed me to select by colour and assign an apperance to all of them in one go. Saves quite a bit of time, when you have hundreds or more of them.
Re: Standard Content - Edit Appearance
Required for me too for rendering, screen shots and images from CAD
Re: Standard Content - Edit Appearance
Is there an improvement request for this issue? This blocks me from utilizing the cool functionalities of the standard content.
Re: Standard Content - Edit Appearance
You may wish to use this fancy fastener creator document instead. Has configurable appearances and all kinds of bolt head options etc.
