Exporting STEP files with color (STEP 214)

[ptc-726111]

Hello,

Whenever I export a file from Pro-E (WF 4.0), or someone sends me a STEP file from Pro-E, all the parts have lost their color and are grey when importing (example SolidWorks). Is there a Pro-E setting where the parts in an assembly retain their assigned colors when exported as a STEP file?

Regards,

Chris Thompson
