Mechanica uses color to identify modeling entities, distinguish icons and geometry, indicate the selection state of icons, show meshes, and so forth. In addition, when it displays fringe plots, vector plots, and graphs, Mechanica uses color to show stresses, strains, and other types of results.

Pro/ENGINEER uses several basic color schemes, among which are the default color scheme, the black on white color scheme, and so forth. You can work in any of these color schemes, or customize the user interface by establishing a color scheme of your own.

Mechanica online help refers to entity and icon color when the color has significance from a modeling perspective—such as the different colors of the top and bottom surfaces in a shell pair—or when the color will help you identify an entity on your screen. Be aware that all references to color in the online help system are based on the default color scheme. If you use a different color scheme, you will need to understand how the colors in your scheme correspond to the colors in the default scheme in order to correctly interpret the online help.

For information on the Pro/ENGINEER color schemes and how to set them, search the Fundamentals functional area in the Pro/ENGINEER Help Center. To learn how to customize the colors Mechanica uses for result windows, see Adjusting Color Scale for Fringe, Contour, and Vector Legends and Managing Graphs.
