How to add color to palette that is permanent?
(OP)
Hi,
Can someone point me to an .xml file that can be changed that tells CATIA which colors to show as default in the color palette? I have a custom one that I want to add so that it shows up in the standard colors.
Thanks,
Jake

I don't know how your system is configured, but it's the file you should have (and keep safe) in your "local settings" folder (i.e. c:\documents and settings\yourusername\application data\DassaultSystemes\Catsettings).

You can also access the options outside of Catia through a link similar to this:
"C:\Program Files\Catia\V5R18\win_b64\code\bin\CATOptionsMgt.exe" -run "CATOptionsMgt.exe" -env CATIAV5_environment_file -direnv "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\DassaultSystemes\CATEnv" -nowindow
(Edit the string to reflect your own Catia installation.)
I afraid I don't know where in the options management you can edit the actual colour palette, though...
Good luck.

Start Catia in admin mode (you need to have rights for that)
Define colors as usual.
Close Catia
CColors.CATSettings is now modified in reference settings not in user settings folder.
