A request for this was made some time ago in this forum and so I've prepared a Word document (see attached) which describes the procedure for using KF (Knowledge Fusion) to create a way to control the color of an NX Solid Body (or a Sheet body or even the Face of a Solid/Sheet Body) by editing the value of an Expression. Note that you will need an KF license to utilize this procedure but once the part file has been created and the KF expression created and linked to the NX object, you no longer need a KF licence to use the file and control the color via the Expression.

Do you have anything like this on Cloning parts from a custom library???
That's something I really need to figure out and I know that KF supports it.
I would like to be presented with a re-naming field or maybe just be able to set a re-naming prefix or suffix?? Something on the simpler side with a bunch of gingerbread.
I sure I'm stretching on this type of request tho...
