Quick way to color parts in idw drawings

[fakeru]

We use to color components in idw drawings very often. And when we have drawings of large assemblies we lose a lot of time for that. Usually we select the parts from views (having "Part Priority" in Filter Selection), right click and from the properties we change the color.

I was thinking if there could be faster ways to do it. For example to create a command (which later should accesed via a button on keyboard) that will call the colors window in the components properties, having the part already selected.

Probably I need a .vba code or an ilogic rule to create this command. Can someone help me in this regard?

Or does someone have better ideas for coloring the parts?

Thanks

Here is a link to a thread that has a rule started that works on small assemblies.

I'm thinking Idea Station... to have an option to show parts in idws outlined in the model color?  Hmmm.....
