Changing the Sketch colours

Solidworks allows you to make your sketches appear in different colours so that you can make a visual difference between your sketches even when the sketch is inactive

To do so, you need to select the sketch from the design tree > Right Mouse click on the sketch > Click Sketch colour > select the colour as intended.

Please see the attached video for the demonstration.

Kindly note, If you want to assign different colours to different entities (like different lines) of the same sketch geometry, this is a current limitation.

Right now changes in colour apply to the whole sketch. There is an enhancement SPR 550094 – (Add capability to colour individual entities in the sketch)
