User manual Version 10.0, June 2011 PRIMER Screen Text Sets the colour for title, date, contour bar values, etc. Default: Not background. This can be configured in the oa_pref file using: primer*text_colour: <colour> Sketched Items Sets the colour for anything sketched in any context. By default it is set to "Not background", the logical opposite of the current background setting so as to establish good contrast. It can also to be set to a fixed colour or Use Text Colour which will use the same setting as Screen Text is set to. Item Labels Sets the colour for item (eg node) labels. Default: white. Colours can also be set for several other types of item in PRIMER using the other popups. Colour all by gives options of how to colour model items. • MODEL id sets colour by model number. • INCLUDE file id sets colour by which include file items belong to. • PART id sets part-based element colours by part number • SECTION id sets part-based element colours by section • MATERIAL id sets part-based element colours by material. Using colour based on PART, SECTION or MATERIAL id: For element types that use parts (solid, shell, beam, tk shell, discrete, seat-belt, sph) the colour may be based on one of these properties. The label of the property is used, for example all elements of part 1 will be the same colour. Where a property is undefined, for example no material defined on a *PART card, grey is used. The default is for all such elements to be drawn by PART colour. Setting user-defined colours for individual parts or groups of parts can be achieved using Quick Pick, Part Table or Part Tree. User -defined colours may also be defined for materials, elements and some other entity types using Quick Pick. Spotweld beam/solid colour allows you to change the colours used when drawing spotweld beams or solids. The default is from part in which case the normal colour for the element is used. If from Npanels is chosen then the colour of the element will change depending on how many panels the spotweld connects. Popups allow you to change the colours as necessary. Page 4.7
