Drawing View colors
Hey Onshapes,
Backstory: I'm working with a laser cutting vendor, and their system needs color coding to tell their machine whether to cut through or just engrave.
How do you make the view(s) in a Drawing page, say, (0,0,225) blue? It looks like you can have any color you want, as long as it's black.

I believe the current workflow is export from OS in the drawing type of your choice, and then use a 3rd party application to colour it in, or split over multiple layers.
I'm sure there will be an improvement request (forum category on the right) to cast your vote on, should you wish.
Cheers,

Although the request is for construction line color, I added a post to request pick color for any selection. I found this useful for clarity.
