Earlier this week I ‘reintroduced’ Appearance Callouts in The Appearance of Things - Appearance Callouts. If you haven’t read it yet, I would recommend that you read Monday’s post before carrying on here. For the second part of our three part series, I will be covering the Display Pane. The Display Pane provides a simple interface to view the display settings of parts and drawings. In assemblies, the Display Pane can also be used to apply changes to the settings.

The Appearance Callouts window is nothing new, in fact I believe it made its debut in 2006, but I feel myself using it a lot more in 2008. Since I started using it again, I discovered it really does make it easier to apply colors and textures to parts, bodies, features and faces. In watching users at my job, I noticed that a lot of them do not use the Appearance Callouts when editing colors and textures either. I even asked a few of them and when they replied that they not familiar with the tool, a light bulb went off. I figured now was as good as time as any to reintroduce the Appearance Callouts function.
