Random Drawing Colours

Hi everyone -

I had a trivial question about the drawing function in Pro 5.0/Creo that is bugging me immensely.

I am trying to have an assembly drawing of a bicycle wheel, while is mostly fine, except for the fact that where the spokes are coming through the hub Creo has decided to colour it with a purple/blue/green dot, which looks none the too professional in my exported PDF drawing!

Does anybody have any idea how to fix this issue?

Also, while I'm on the topic, does anybody know of a way to put centrelines on the drawing without having to physically sketch them on? It seems foolish that there would not be a function to automatically create centrelines.

Thanks in advance!
 
Centerlines can be generated in drawing mode from
Annotate Tab > Show Model Annotations > Datum Tab
select a view, then choose from available datums.

Purple/blue/green dot .... a pic might help

in CREO Elements/Pro purple=manufacturing vol, blue=sketch
green=quilt
