SolidWorks Composer offers true flexibility when it comes to creating technical documentation. When creating line drawings, you can customize the outline colour of each actor individually.

To achieve this:

  1. Activate the technical illustration workshop
  2. Deselect the option “Same colour for all actors” option for the visible lines
  3. Select the desired actor and change the Width and Colour properties under the Outline category.

When you publish the desired illustration it will have the outlines as specified in the part properties.
