Chapter 14 - Managing Color Styles

Introduction

The Autodesk CAD applications Inventor and AutoCAD offer to switch the color themes of the user interface between light and dark modes. Vault Explorer does the same and continues to offer the color scheme "Classic".

Vault Data Standard automatically adopts the user's selection in CAD and Vault clients and reflects all styles in data sheets and dialogs. Data Standard customizations benefit in the same way and even allow extending of the default themes.
