| | | | (...) At least part of the reason is that Gray is a fairly common color; Clear is more rare (for most parts). When parts where shown in gray, it was sometimes confusing whether it was gray-the-actual-color or gray-the-default-color. Using a (...) (20 years ago, 15-Oct-04, to lugnet.cad)

| | | | | (...) LDView has a nice feature where you can specify the default color for parts. I use rgb(128,128,80); it's close to grey, but tinted enough to easily differentiate grey parts from color 16. Andy (20 years ago, 15-Oct-04, to lugnet.cad, FTX)
