Question

creo schematics cable color

I have designed the schematics and assigned the color codes (e.g., BR, BL, BK, etc.). After exporting the XML file and importing it into Creo Parametric, everything appears as per the schematics, but the wire colors or cable details are not being reflected.

Does anyone know why this happens and what the resolution might be?

From what I understand, this could be related to the DMT file settings in the model. However, Iโ€™m not sure about the correct sequence or procedure to resolve this.

If anyone has insights or the correct steps to fix this, please let me know

When importing, ensure that the matching appearances are already defined in your assembly. The spool parameter โ€˜colorโ€™ must correspond to an appearance with the same name in the Appearance Manager.
