mastercam X8 to 2019 "change wireframe color"

[sirdrake]

We are in the process to change from Mastercam X8 to mastercam 2019.

I got an issue that I seem not beeing able to fix.

In Mastercam X8 when you where using the change wireframe color button it was opening the color palette so you can chose the color you wanted for said line.

In Mastercam 2019 the same button doesn't open that palette color panel instead it ask to chose a line to change it to your predefine color set for wireframe.

Is there a way in Mastercam 2019 to select a line press 1 shotcut or button that will directly open the color panel so I can change the color of said line?

 

Thank you community

yes, choose the line , hit RMB (Right Mouse Button) and choosing one of the three colors for wireframe, surf or solid will change the color of the line.

Another method would be to choose Analyze and change the color from there, RMB is more natural and the designed method for color control in 2019..

So from what i understand theres no quick way to open the color panel anymore in 2019? (I'm used to hit a keybord shortcut and panel open right away).

There are a couple but named "More Colors"  You might have to verify it's the correct one thru the several

After you click the right mouse button you can select any of the 3 down arrows next to the 3 color options at the top and then you will be able to select any color you want.

One of the joys of the new MC interface....way more mouse clicks to accomplish the same thing.

True.

At least in this case the clicks are all relatively close together.
