I am using Creo Parametric Release 9.0 and Datecode9.0.1.0

Our manufacturing team wants, part geometry should be color coded based on how accurately they have to produce it. We have finalized 15 colors, put them in a .dmt file and put that file in the library at ~ \\Common Files\graphic-library\adv_materials\Custom folder in all our systems.

Issue is, this newly created color library is not consistent. When we apply those colors in a Manufacturing/ Mold cavity part, save and reopen it, colors get changed randomly.

    Hi,

    please provide exact information:

    • upload .dmt file
    • publish absolute path to \\Common Files\graphic-library\adv_materials\Custom folder
    • publish config.pro options related to coloring

    Hi,

    what is the name of .dmt file located in C:\Program Files\PTC\Creo\Creo 9.0.1.0\Common Files\graphic-library\adv_materials\Custom directory? colorsByTolerance.txt name does not make any sense.
