model colors not shown in v2008 sp5
ok, i now have a client who actually specified models built in sw2008. so i've installed it and am working with it. no big deal--a few interface inconsistencies, but this version seems ok to me other than that stuff.
i add colors to my parts on the part level. i open my main assembly and everything is gray (not the colors i specified). how do i get my colors to display again? is there something new buried in the options area that toggles my colors off? these are standard colors applied to parts/bodies, not solidworks/photoworks materials.

do you have realview turned on?

wow--fast reply!
no, realview is off.
but i just found the problem. on this installation, the installer picked up my "old" v2007 options from the registry--partly. so sw was set to display photoworks properties in the sw window instead of sw materials/colors--and photoworks was added and active as an add-in upon installation. anyway, i unchecked that option and my part colors came back. looks like i'm back where i need to be once again.
thanks for the quick reply.
