How to modify the pcb assembly?

[jack montague]

I use the Move/Copy Body feature to rotate and move the part so that the origin and orientation line up with the way the PCB design software wants it.

There are a number of different ways to change colors. You can change the color of the whole part, to get most of it the way you want. You can change the color of bodies separately if your part has multiple bodies. You can change the colors of features, although an imported file is not going to have any feature unless you used the FeatureWorks add-in to recognize them. You can change the colors of individual faces. The face coloring overrides the feature coloring, which overrides the body coloring, which overrides the part coloring.

To change the color of something, left or right click on it, and select the multi-colored ball (Appearances). Select the color you want and continue clicking on the stuff you want to be the same color. If you already have a face that is the right color, pick it first, then select the Appearances ball and then select the faces that you want to apply that color to.

Appearances are not just colors; check out the Appearances ball in the Task Pane to the right as well.

You can also apply colors at the Assembly level. This tends to confuse matters, as the assembly appearance overrides the appearances applied at the part level.

I don't know how you guys do it?

Perhaps letting us know what software you are using will help with a response.

General - read the instruction manual and look at tutorial videos.
