Change Tool Displays
Both tool color and size can be changed. Tool size is changed using the plus
(+) or minus (-) keys on the keypad. Use plus (+) to increase the size, and minus
(-) to reduce it. To adjust the colors in which the direction axes, line extender,
or tooltip are displayed, set the colors as you would other color format styles.
Set colors in the display of the 3D Orthogonal Route tool
1 Open a tube and pipe assembly file containing at least one route. You
can use the Tube & Pipe sample files, which are installed in
Autodesk\Inventor <version>\Samples\Models\Tube & Pipe by default.
2 Activate the top-level assembly or Tube & Pipe Runs subassembly.
3 Click Format ➤ Styles Editor.
4 On the Styles and Standards Editor dialog box, expand Color in the left
pane and select a Route_UI_Tool_(toolname) color style.
5 Set the appropriate color attributes.
6 Click Save to apply color changes immediately. Otherwise, colors become
effective when you click Done to close the dialog box.
Define Angular Position and Rotation Snap
The rotation arrows and direction axes can be displayed when defining routes
and placing fittings, and then again when editing and repositioning routes
