Problems with color palette in mixed version assembly
Problems with color palette in mixed version assembly
(OP)
I am starting to work with NX 6 and have came across a problem that should be easy to fix, but I can't seem to get it. I have an Assembly with two subassemblies. Subassembly_1 was modeled in NX5. Subassembly_2 in NX 6. When I create my Assembly in NX 6, the colors of the components in Subassembly_1 get shifted to the new color map in NX 6. And of course if I change my color palette of the Assembly to the NX 5 cdf file then the component colors in Subassembly_2 get altered. Is there an easy solution to this?

Do the color assignments or number of colors change for NX-6 or is it just the content of the default .cdf file?

I've attached a file showing both the old and new colors as well as what the actual default NX 6 color palette now looks like. We abandoned the old color cube and replaced it with a set of logically defined mini-palettes based on how you might wish to think how these colors would be utilized, Light, Dark, Vibrant, etc. And since people were so hung up on 'Grays' we doubled the number,from 6 to 12, for the number of equal steps from Black to White.

RE: Problems with color palette in mixed version assembly
I want to explain/what are my problems with the color palette:
I have to work for the automotives / they are not on NX . Or they use the Nx2 color table. In other ... they can direct give an rgb value to an entity in Nx I have to custom the cdf with individual color number. Is this true? Is the color saved in rgb values in the part file or related to the active cdf?
thx in ad
