Change shape color while editing

KEN13

Good afternoon all,

I use PCB Editor version 17.2.  I select a shape to edit.  Move my cursor over one edge to drag larger or smaller.  When I do this the shape edge I am moving changes to black.  How can I change this color as I use a black background and can not see the line as I am moving it.  I can change the background color to a lighter color and see the line as I am moving it, but find a black background is easier on the eyes.

Thank you,

Ken

    Paul,

         It must be a setting I am missing.  I needed to update a footprint in my library and when I drag the Place Bound Top shape it does change to red.  Try the same in the board file and it is black.  I saved the color palette for library and loaded it on the board file...no such luck.

    Ken I assume your on windows right ?. If you were able to edit a symbol and the shape drag operation is red then I believe that your .env file probably does not have some bizarre option checked. Maybe try a DB Check on that pcb database and look at the log to see if you get any hits. If you want to zip up your .env file I can take a look to see if I spot anything obvious. Beyond that a call to support may be needed to resolve your issue.

    Paul.
