Stroke color in "hidden lines deleted" view

Hi everyone

The context : I make the maintenance manual for a machine tool. To do this, I need schematics, which I make via SolidWorks in " hidden lines deleted " view by capturing screenshots.

 

The problem : The problem is that in this view mode (hidden lines removed) SolidWorks gives me a part with purple lines, while all the other parts and assemblies are in black lines.

 

I tried to select the room and " remove all appearances ", but nothing helped.

I attach a screenshot of my concern

What would anyone have a solution to remove this color ?

Thank you

Hello, a "Ctrl+Q" doesn't help the problem?

Wouldn't your piece that appears in purple lines be a room with surface bodies?

Thank you for taking the time to answer me.

Bart: No, that doesn't solve the problem.

Benoit.LF: No, a volume part.

Well, in fact it doesn't come from there!

This is because your part has been assigned a color at the assembly level. So point to your part, go to "Appearances" (the 4-color ball), click on the color assigned to the assembly, then click on "Remove appearance"

Question Isn't this a part that you are manipulating so select in the creation tree?

And in your model display options (see photo)

 

Isn't there one of the colors that would be purple? just to find out why:p

When you go into your room and put it in the "Hidden Lines Deleted" view, it also appears in purple?

If so, go to Tools/Options/Document Properties/Template View/Wireframe/Deleted Hidden Lines. If it's purple, that's where it comes from.

Otherwise, no idea... :/

Edit: Beaten to the post by @Bart! ;)

@ santino

What if you close everything and reopen your file without selecting any parts?

What if you sent us your piece, so that we can see how it reacts at home?

are you under which SW version and which graphics card?

Does it only do it in this assembly, in the subassemblies where this part appears, on the part alone?

 

The problem with appearances is that it is settled on a lot of levels that overlap.

Problem solved !!

I put my assembly in " stop in shaded mode" view, the parts have a color in this display there, and only in this display there (each independently opened component is gray), then I removed the apply color. When switching back to the " hidden lines delete " display, the lines were black again. Why doesn't the fact of removing the appearances in the " hidden lines delete " display not delete it? no idea :-s

However it still seems strange to me, all the other components have a color (red, yellow, blue,...) and their color in the " hidden lines delete " display is indeed black.

Weird, weird.

Thank you very much for your help and the time you spent on my problem !!!
