Each layer has a color associated with it. Using different colors for different layers helps you visually distinguish different information in the
drawing. An objectās color also may control appearance during printing.
There are two different ways of selecting the color for objects on
your screen. The best way is usually to set the layer color and draw
the objects on the appropriate layer. This method keeps your drawing
organized. The other method is to use the Color Control feature on the
Properties panel. To select the Color Control pull-down feature,
The three tabs of the Select Color dialog box allow you to choose
among different methods to determine the color for your drawing
entities. The True Color tab allows you to set color to either RGB, which
stands for Red, Green, Blue, the primary colors of light, or HSL, which
stands for the Hue, Saturation, and Luminance of the color. The Color
Books tab lets you select from among different standard ink manufacturerās predefined colors so that you can match print colors very closely
to the colors you choose on your screen. In this text you will use Index
Color (AutoCAD Color Index) as the method for selecting color.
Make sure the Index Color tab is selected.
The default option for the Color (and also for the Linetype) command
is BYLAYER. Itās the best selection because, when you draw a line,
the color and linetype will be those of the current layer. Otherwise, the
color in your drawing can become very confusing. You will click Cancel
to exit the Select Color dialog box without making any changes. The
colors for your new objects will continue to be determined by the layer
on which they are created. Layers can have associated linetypes, as well
as colors, as Layer CENTERLINE does.
Callout solidworks are boxes of text that appear in the graphic area when we use certain tools. Makes it easy for us to click, move, and adjust parameters dynamically without leaving the graphic area. Callouts help distinguish different entities. For example, info that shows the profile of a sweep and sweep path. We can do it by dragging to reposition it, but we cannot use it to change the property of the entity they are referring to. Some info, such as for chamfers, will display numbers that you can edit or change to manipulate the size of the entity. The long span handle is extruded. Drag the handle to the desired extrusion depth, and the handle covers the length.
