Hi all
How do I reset the settings of the solidworks base layers? In fact, the "none" layer makes me red strokes while I want black strokes as usual. I don't understand why this has changed when I still stay on the same parameters.
Thank you for your help:)
Hello
It must be modified in the basemap: by opening it in SolidWorks, and then by changing the color of the corresponding layer.
Save and it should be ok:)
Thanks, but the problem is that in no place can I change the settings of this "none" layer... I don't have to look in the right place
Hello
I'm not sure if we can put the basic settings back though, by going to the layer settings, you can change the color of the "none" layer.
To do this, you need to activate the layers toolbar. I'll let you see the attached file.
Otherwise
The problem may come from the settings in the line colors, you have to check that you are on the "default" value.
In SolidWorks, you can specify the color, style, and thickness of lines in named layers. You can move objects within layers and turn layers on and off. The layer list consists of many annotation and dimension dialogs.
You can also format rows using the Format Row tools . You can specify a line weight and style at the document level. Click Tools , Options, Document Properties and set the Line Font, Line Style, and Line Weight.
Layers are used less in SolidWorks than in 2D CAD systems. SolidWorks has multiple drawing sheets, and you can hide and show drawing views, assembly components, lines, and various other objects without using layers.
In addition to creating layers in SolidWorks, you can import 2D CAD drawings with layers into SolidWorks. All 2D CAD layers are preserved in SolidWorks. When you export from SolidWorks, you can project entity types onto specific layers.
The Layer toolbar contains a list of layers in the drawing and the Layer Properties tool .
Click the Layer Properties tool to access the Layers dialog box. Create new layers and specify the color, style , and thickness of the lines in each layer.

I'm fine by default in terms of line colors. On the other hand, when I go to the layer settings I only see the one I created a long time ago "FORMAT" and not the other two "None" and 3 according to the standard".
I just realized with a colleague that this only happens on sheet metal folds (sheet metal drawn by a colleague from a distance)... I don't know if it has anything to do with it. In any case, if I draw a line in the sketch in the drawing, it is black regardless of the layer in which I place it...
As a result, we understand even less what is going on! Laughing out loud
Thank you for your help in any case:)
Can you try to select the lines that are in red and look at the line formats for the color assigned to them? And at the same time select the color "Black"?
If not, can you give us the piece that we can test on our side?
So when I select the line, I'm black by default, yet it's red... If I try to put it in green for example, it works, I press OK and if I go back to this line to put its color back by checking "default", it becomes red again...
Unfortunately, I can't send you this document, it's professional.
You must then change the color setting in the document options:
Can you uncheck the "Default" value and select in black?
Is the part in the "None" layer?
To check, when you go to the properties of the document los colors for bend lines.
if it's the bend lines as I understand it, see below
Sheet metal options include:
Whether or not folding notes are displayed
Setting the display style for bend notes
Setting the display color for unfolded drawings
|
|
To set bend note options:
| ||
| ||
To set the colors of the unfolded state | To enable or disable the display of bend notes | To set the style of bend notes |
|
-or- Right-click a view in the unfolded state, select Properties , and turn Show Fold Notes on or off . |

If I uncheck by default and I'm black, the selected line turns to black. The color settings of the sheet metal plies are indeed in black. What is surprising is that apparently this is only the case on the parts of our colleague who works remotely, not those that are designed at home...
@brindy16
Did you read my last message?
stupid question and if you save this piece via a copy in your version with another name
What happens since it's the refs of your log that will be taken care of
@+
To see with people more expert than me on solidworks, maybe there can be parameters to change on the part itself?
There is probably a setting where the default color is red for your configuration...
It's because he has a modified version of his plan templates, or that he changes the color of his sheet metal elements "unintentionally" with a bad handling.
That's all I see.
Hello
A quick solution that doesn't fix anything but helps is a click on this icon that removes all colors from the map.
May the force be with you
@gt22
Yes yes I read that right, but despite everything, it's still the same thing... We always get by:) but I like to understand why we can have bugs like that, and really, between my research and your answers, I don't understand...
Thank you OBI WAN for this little trick that I didn't know about:D
WAN @OBI
The trick of this icon does not work on this sheet metal which has some red lines...
After that, there are maybe two different versions of SolidWorks on your two workstations?
(Standard toolbar) or Tools, Options. 
If you select the option below or below the fold line, you can also add attachment lines to the notes individually or simultaneously in the drawing document.
