Hey Jeff, I don't know of any way to "save" the color assignment in order to read it into another drawing. It sounds like you are talking about library symbols (*.dra) and you want them to all look alike. One way to accomplish this is to have a "starting point" blank drawing. It would have all of your colors (and anything else) set up the way you want it. Then copy and rename it to create a new drawing. To have existing drawings changed to all have the same color assignments, a script is a good way to go. You do have to get into each one and then run the script. Good luck! Gary Gary E.

In 16.01 you can. Before that you can record a script of color settings (start a script, pick your colors, stop the script) and then re-play it in any other .dra file you want. > > > From: icu-pcb-forum-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:icu-pcb-forum-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of jeff > Sent: Monday, June 02, 2008 3:44 PM > To: icu-pcb-forum@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: [PCB_FORUM] Color Dialog > > > Is there a way to save the subclass color mapping from one dra file and read it in to a different dra file?
