The following options and pages are displayed.

• Colours — Control how items shown in the CAD view are displayed when they are selected in the inspection sequence.
  • Highlight selected item — Change luminosity of selected objects.

    Clear to disable highlighting.

  • Luminosity change — Illuminate selected objects. A positive value brightens selected objects and negative value darkens them.

    A +60% luminosity is applied to the items of the alignment features group below.

    

• General — Set the color of the CAD View background, back faces, selected surfaces, label arrows, and grid lines.
• Entities — Specify the colours of the information indicators for items selected in the CAD view or the inspection sequence.
  • Highlight entities using highlight colour — Highlight objects using a specified colour.
  • Highlight colour — Color of highlighted objects. Clear to highlight objects by luminosity instead.

    Note: The Luminosity change slider on the Colours page controls the colour change when the check box is clear. If clear, the highlight entity settings have no effect.
• Grid — Colour in which the grid is displayed in the CAD view.
• Measure — Colour used in full-screen measurement mode.
• Point-Cloud — Colours used to display point clouds.

  Note: The Curves page is available only when creating inspections for CNC and Manual machines.
• Tolerance band — Tolerance colours for inspection point confetti and the colour of the text in tolerance scale for inspection groups and point-cloud groups.
  • Use gradient fill between key colours — Use a colour range to indicate the relative deviation of each point; deselect the check box to use a single colour for the above-tolerance band, the in-tolerance band and the below-tolerance band.
