23.22. -With four different components in the assembly, it's a good idea to change

their appearance to make it easier to identify them. To change a component's

color, select the component in the FeatureManager or the graphics area, and from

the pop-up toolbar select the

part level.

@ The difference between changing a part's appearance in the assembly or in

/ the part file can be illustrated like this: We can paint the part before we

assemble it, or we paint it after we assemble it. In the first case we assemble

a painted part; in the second case the part is painted after it is assembled. In our

example, we want to change the color only at the assembly level.

Now we are ready to change the part's color. Select the desired color from

the color swatch selection box to change it and click OK to finish.
