I have to open more than 100 part and change the color palette (i just have the right .cdf) of every single part,
because when i export a STEP of the entire assembly the color is take from the single part.
The costumer want the right color for CAM purpose.

We use hypermill for CAM and had a hell of a time getting the correct colors to translate.
We had to modify the color pallet in hypermill as well as the UG color pallet to have the correct color number come thru.
It was more that the correct color number and not the actual rgb values matched.
So if in UG you had color 114 assigned to a surface you wanted it to be color 114 in your CAM software.
We ended up using parasolid since our CAM package supported parasolid.
STEP and IGES kept giving us grief with the colors.

I still have a lot of issues getting UG and Catia to translate the same colors between the two systems.
