Add ability to change Legacy ECAD area features colors

1. Describe your environment: What is your industry? What is your role in your organization? Describe your stakeholders.
Industry - High End Electronics

Role - CAD Admin

Stakeholders - Engineering, downstream teams, vendors, etc.

2. What version of Creo Parametric are you currently running?
8.0.4.0
3. Describe the problem you are trying to solve. Please include detailed documentation such as screenshots, images or video.
Refer to PTC support Case 16345926, and SPR 13757325.

See support article: https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS367324?source=Case%20Viewer

You should be able to go into the edit definition of any ECAD feature and change the color and hatching options.  Engineers don't know the difference between which features are legacy versus a new ECAD feature and often times they don't want all legacy keep outs to be the same color.
4. What is the use case for your organization?
Engineers have to update PCBs will need to specify different Keep outs for different things with different color and hatching options.
5. What business value would your suggestion represent for your organization?
It would allow full functionality with ECAD keepout regions and help between ECAD and MCAD collaboration.
