Setup color

[MB_9203282]

I am using Creo Parametric Release 10.0 and Datecode10.0.5.0

I would like to know more about coloring surfaces.
I design plastic molding tools and the customer wants the models colored in different colors, for example iso hole yellow inch hole purple.
Now I have to sit and change everything manually
can it be done so that I have it controlled in the config file
is it possible?
Do you have any good basic information then can I make my own setup

I am not aware of any config options to support your objective. There are Creo Toolkit apps sold that are made to apply colors: Rule-based color coding with SMARTColor - B&W Software

If your requirement is not sophisticated, then you may be able to handle semi automation of this process using layers and rules without buying additional software.
