Automatically create color-related properties




What could be more constraining than having to manually add properties related to color standards ? Make it all automatic with the myCADtools ColorChart tool.

Indeed this tool you allows you to apply colors to SOLIDWORKS entities (bodies, faces, functions, parts, assemblies ...) from standard color charts while having the possibility to automatically create the properties associated with the chosen colors.


Once the entities are selected, we can apply this appearance to the geometry either :


  • By double clicking on the color or the color icon.
  • Using drag and drop




By selecting this iconodo it is possible to set some parameters for automatic creation of color properties.

Once the properties are set, when you apply the color to your part or assembly, the properties are created :
