Configuration of Color

Configuration of Color

Configuration of Color

(OP)
My company uses a housing that is used on multiple models. We change the color of coating depending on the model type. I would like to have "color-configuration" within a part. Would it be possible? If not, does anybody have good idea?

Thanks-

Uka

RE: Configuration of Color

You can handle this with a regular Design Table

Quote (SolidWorksHelp):

The design table can include a column for configuration-specific colors. The value is a 32-bit integer that specifies RGB (red, green, blue). If no value is specified, zero (black) is used.

If you know the 32-bit integer value of a color, you can type the number directly into the design table in a column with the $COLOR parameter as the header. If you do not know the 32-bit integer value, you can calculate it in the design table with the RGB component values.

If you choke a smurf,   what color does it turn?

RE: Configuration of Color

Or simply create the new configuration, right-click the part in the design tree and select properties, hit the color button, change the color, and before saving, make sure this configuration only is selected.
