Colour Control
Colour Control
(OP)
Having made an assembly of sub assemblies etc with colours defined at the part level, I want to go back and change the colours.
As this is for presentation only and all components in their respective sub-assemblies are the same - I thought I could just go into the sub assembly and tell the parts selected to use the defined assembly colour. That works fine.
But back in the main assembly the colours are still the old part defined ones - I found when I RMC on the part in main assembly (or FM) bring up 'component properties' box there is the section called visiblity under 'config specific properties' asking me to use 'config specific colours' of the sub assembly or 'overide' - is there any way I can change this option globally? cause that then solves my prob.
I will keep on hunting in the mean time

RE: Colour Control
If you want those parts colors to go back to the parts color in the part file, click on them (or CTRL-click a bunch, all) and select Remove Color from the Color window.

In theory that is what I/you would expect to happen
It would be great if someone could tell me I am doing something wrong cause there are about 600 components that need changes

Thanks Mr Pickles
RE: Colour Control
Have you tried right-clicking the 1st level subassembly (not the individual parts) in the main assembly and changing the color? That works on my assemblies.
RE: Colour Control
You should check out the KBA on colors and how to apply them at the SW website. Also the help is pretty detailed when it comes to changing colors.
