Can we use multiple colours within one sketch

Gerard

I have got a complex Master Sketch that will drive many sub assemblies. I like to use multiple colours. I noticed the new option assigning appearances to a sketch, but not to selected entities of a sketch. Any suggestions please?

Thanks, learning every day.  I will review options of using multiple sketches to combine as required when inserting in new assemblies. Thanks Steg and S1mon, much appreciated.

You can't use more than 1 color in a single sketch (for now at least). Why not split you "complex" sketch into multiple simpler sketches? "Complex" sketch is rarely a good thing.

Reason for a 'complex' Master sketch is that it is inserted in all new created sub-assemblies and used for mating. Having one master would make this easier. Colours would help identifying. Having many sketches would mean we have to insert many sketches to construct our sub-assemblies, while all subassembly configurations have to follow the pattern of the master sketch.
Trying to work out the best way of using sketches to create sub-assemblies with up to 20 configurations each, all to fit a top assembly with over 100,000 variations.

Multiple sketches wouldn't necessarily be the worst thing. You could make a subassembly from them, and then use that as your skeleton to hang things off of.
