Steps to Duplicate:
- Start NX and open the model 100557356_D40_000.prt and drawing 100557356_D42_000.prt.
Note: If 'File - Preferences - Visualization - Rendering - Graphics - Wireframes Contrast' is OFF and the Drawing is not displayed in Monochrome mode, then the Visible Geometry within the drawing views is not visible, being white on a white background.
- Select 'Menu - Information - Object' and select one of the visible lines within a drawing view, and you can see that a View Dependent Edit is applied to the geometry that makes it White.
The question is, how can the migration process be configured to ensure that the Visible Line Color in a Drawing not set to White
Work Around: Yes, but not acceptable to the customer.
Set 'File - Preferences - Visualization - Rendering - Graphics - Wireframes Contrast' to ON.
Display the drawing in Monochrome Mode.
