How do you get the colors of parts in an exploded IPN to update to match how
they look in the IAM file?
For example brass looking parts (brass material also) were changed to
aluminum in the IAM file. But in my exploded IPN the parts still look like
brass.

When placing a view into a ipn the design view defaults to "None". Regardless of what design view is active in the iam. You can select options and pick your design view when placing this view.
After placing the view in the ipn it is locked to what the design view state is at the time of placement. Once the view is placed you can update your iam design view untill you are blue in the face and your ipn will not follow along. Once it is placed in the iam it's as if the link is broken.
Well I tried to open this file in R10 and it has crashed to the Desktop 5 times so far. So I not sure that R10 has anything in store for me (at least not with this problem)
I can see that, and it would explain my troubles, but why in the h%$ would you want to cut one of my arms off. If that is how Autodesk has set this up I would be really ticked off. What is the point of design views, if they won't pass through or work with the ipn....arrr.
Don't know if this is off base or not but a lot of times these settings are getting stuck in the ram of the current IV session. Reinserting over and over gives the same results because IV using the RAM resident version of the settings. So getting out of IV and maybe even a reboot to clear might help.
I say this because I use the IV RAM usage to my advantage in another way. When you bring in a SAT file the resulting part in just in RAM until you hit save. So I do an RMB open on each part and save copy as, then replace component, the finally save copy as the inserted sat assembly. I then have a renamed imported SAT assembly by just using the RAM resident version without righting the HD.
My guess the insert over and over and getting same results has to do with changing the color/visibity of something in the current iam design view and when placing the view into the ipn it is getting placed to a different design view "None".
Here is what I've done in both R9_sp2 & R10. There is a difference in the workflow between the two. R10 saves about 4 steps, 8 total. Let me know if this does not work for you.
