RGB color matching to exported step / imported step into another cad system.
RGB color matching to exported step / imported step into another cad system.
(OP)
Im trying to match the RGB values for a customer's color coding for machineing tools. I’ve exported a parasolid from KeyCreator with the proper material color set for multiple sheets labeled, imported into UG and matched the closest color, then manually changed the RGB value of that color to be the appropriate RGB value. It looks good in UG, but when exporting step and importing step into KC the color goes back to their original RGB values before editing that color in UG. Maybe my approach is wrong. Any ideas how to do this properly? This may seem trivial to some, but i work for many tool shops and id like to nail it down.

I've read the threads about RGB matching on here, but not sure this is what i want. If anyone could help it would be appreciated. I use edit object display to change the face colors. Take for instance the customer's clearance area, when i import a sheet from Keycreator it matches as color id 161, strong maroon, i'll right click, edit this color, and change the RGB values to R:128 G:64 B:64, looks good for the current session. I have saved this CDF out with the edited values and import every created assembly part i create. Just for this customer they have 8 different specific colors for machining.
