FYI... in case anyone ever runs into this again...
If you go to the color table, at the top there's an option Layers
(default) and Nets. If you select the Nets option there's a button that
shows up that says "Disable Custom Colors" and that box was selected.
Once I unselected it, all worked just fine. This board is inherited from
another design shop, so I don't know why it was set that way...

Hi Jean,
Try changing some settings in the Color Dialog Box by selecting Nets and
Disabling Custome Colors.
Highlighting is set or unset by right clicking and choosing Set
Highlight State or Clear Highlight State, respectively.
To prevent custom color from displaying in both the Nets tree and the
design, right click and choose Clear Custom Color. (A color box without
a color assigned to it has no custom color state.) These custom color
and highlighting states affect the display of the element as follows:
Element has custom color?
Highlight state?

Element displays using...

Hi folks,
I have several designs in 16.2 that I'm working on. Most behave nicely.
In one, though, when I try to Assign a color (highlight) anything (net,
component, pin, whatever) it says it does it, but the color of the
entity remains unchanged. It will then let me dehighlight the entity, so
I know it thinks it's doing something. Any clue why it's not changing
color?
Thanks for any help!
