View Configuration Enhancements

In Altium Designer, a view configuration is a snapshot of display settings that you can configure, save and load as required. The View Configurations dialog is used to configure and enable the special and system layers of your design. Altium Designer 17.0 provides additional options and more concise entries of the dialog for 2D color profiles. 

Two options have been added to the System Colors region of the View Configurations dialog that further enhance your designs. The First/Second Dimension Line Color option has been added which allows you to define the color of the first and/or second dimension line(s). The new Area/Touch Rectangle Selection Color option enables you to choose the color of area(s)

Some System Colors have been made more concise by combining similar items into one line item. The colors for the combined line items are defined by using the first and second color boxes in the Color column, respectively. For example, the first box in the Color column is used to define the color of the Board Line; the second color box is used to define the Board Area color.

• Board Line Color and Board Area Color have been combined into Board Line/Area Color. 
• Sheet Line Color and Sheet Area Color have been combined into Sheet Line/Area Color. 
• Workspace Start Color and Workspace End Color have been combined into Workspace Start/End Color.
