Why has the colour of the bolts changed?

Answer:
When bolts are displayed by class they appear brown (as shown above), so if under Object Representation the Color is set to Color by class for All objects, including bolts, the bolts will appear brown.

The colour of objects is set in the Object Representation dialog box (see Color settings for object groups).

If bolts are not included in the group that is set to Color by class the bolts could be displayed as a different colour.

Example

This can happen if, for example, the Object Group - Representation for All objects is defined as below, with a tick in the box instead of an unticked box.

If the Object Group is saved with the above settings the bolts may be a different colour.
