Is it possible to define a set of custom colours for use in Inventor DWG's and for those colours to be available after shutting down Inventor and re-starting.
I need to define a limited set of custom colours that will be re-used frequently to colour the parts and assemblies in the Inventor drawing views. I can create a set of custom colours using the "Define Custom Colors >>" button in the Color dialog box, but these custom colours do not save in the template ( I have tried); and only seem to be available during the current Inventor session.
Does anybody know a way to solve this?
Or alternatively, is it possible to amend the "Basic colors:" shown in the dialog box, to create a palette of colours in the order I require, to make it easier to select colours etc.
Any help would be very welome.
Many thanks.

I would look into creating layers with set colors for each layer.

So your looking for the colors represented in the model to be reflected into the drawing views? Have you tried changing the view style (i.e. shaded, shaded with edges, wireframe etc.)

As far as the color pallette, I would look into the color styles. I have not done this, but I know to setup your own colors that would be the place to start.

persistant custom colors in the color picker is not possible today in Inventor..
BUT Microsoft includes the functionality to do so.. it just wasn't built into Inventor and it needs to be handled by the program (Inventor).
This is another thread I found that might help you.
