Pantone Color guide in inventor?

[kennycoulter]

My boss is requesting that I absolutely match the colors of the PANTONE COLOR FORMULA GUIDE for our inventor files, so the images can be shown to customers and match perfectly with our end product before samples are made.



Is it possible to input the PANTONE color numbers to get the correct colors?

I have messed with the color/appearance changer that is similar to the Microsoft Paint style RGB color selector.... My boss wasn't too satisfied with me trying to eyeball the color in that manner.

Is there something else that can be done?

Seems someone made a RAL color library..

But I don't see one for pantone..

You will need to use something like this to get the ~RBG colors of each pantone or similar..

To change an extruded face color, you can click on the surface to highlight it, then look for the material or color that you want in the drop down menu above the "manage, view, environments, etc." toolbars.

if you need to color multiple surfaces the same color, you can click the surface to highlight, hold down Ctrl, then select more surfaces before selecting your color changes.

I am sorry that I am late with the reply: my work has a block on any notifications from this site.

Your response doesn't answer the question, "How to do with VBA....?"

Can you edit the code that was posted to solve the issue?
