Wireframe lines -- color and thickness

cgherghe-2 — Tue, 07 Jan 2025 19:06:05 GMT

I have a part that shows the wireframe lines in white (for some reason, maybe the person who created it had a black background, otherwise I cannot see the reason for this).
Is there a setting that controls the color of the lines in the wireframe view? Could also play with the thickness of those lines if there is a setting for that...
But the COLOR is the burning issue for all parts that come with white/light gray lines.
I tried Appearance --> System_Appearance color settings, but could not get it right, I found how to change the hidden lines color, but only that.
Using CREO 10 on Windows 10.
Many thanks!

The wireframe typically takes on the solid body color of the part for me. Colored surfaces do not change the wireframe color.

Is the part appearance set to white?

Where do you check the part appearance color?

Select appearances dropdown. In the Model section will be all appearances applied to the model. As far as determining what each one is applied to, you can RMB an each to select objects with that appearance. With objects selected you can change all to a new appearance.
