Color definition of parts when moving to the next NX software revision

Color definition of parts when moving to the next NX software revision

Color definition of parts when moving to the next NX software revision

(OP)
Does anyone know how to migrate all the parts to the new color definition when you update to the next NX software revision such that the colors are the same or next colest match based on the red, green and blue parameters?  I have some legacy parts that were built using the NX2 color definitions and want the entire engineering database to move to the NX6 colors.

Running cad straight out of the box is OK but, a system tuned with application software is the best way to increase productivity.

Attached is a GRIP program which will do this on a per file basis, but you will need a GRIP execute license to use it.

What about from any cdf to another cdf?

That's possible, but changing CDF's will not make the old files comply with the new standard, it will merely make them LOOK like they do.
