NX12 Somehow, my complex assembly of a large number of parts, when I open the assembly, all y components are the same color. If you open each component individually, the component has the correct color. But when rolled up into the assembly, all the parts have the same color.

Isn't there an easy way to make the assembly display as the component colors instead of all one applied color?

I select all components in my tree, right click, select Properties
there is a check mark in the box under Layers called 'Specific component color'
If I uncheck this box, all the components revert back to the source colors.
My question, how did that box get checked?
 
If you're using a template part, it might be toggled ON in the template. Just edit it to toggle that option OFF, save the template and move on.
