Automatically Create Color-Related Properties




What could be more tedious than having to manually add properties related to color standards? Automate the entire process with the myCADtools ColorChart tool.

This tool allows you to apply colors to SOLIDWORKS entities (bodies, faces, features, parts, assemblies, etc.) from standard color palettes, while also enabling you to automatically create the properties associated with the selected colors.


Once the entities have been selected, you can apply this style to the geometry by either:


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