Sub-assembly part colors

[pawat]

I have a assembly in Pro/E 2001 made of several sub-assemblies. If I change the color of the sub-assemblies parts (In the sub-assembly model), they don't change on the top assembly, even after re-generating. Do I have to re-assemble the top assembly with the sub-assemblies new colors? Aren't colors associative also? This has been frustrating me as this is a large assembly.

Thanks

I just answered this question myself. By choosing unset instead of set for the sub-assembly, it seems to revert to the last saved colors for the subassembly. At least it worked in this case.

Thanks anyway.

If you change the color in the assembly or sub-assembly, it's like spraying on an additional coat of paint specific to that assembly. This doesn't change the part color, you've just sprayed on a new color in that assembly. When you unset the color, it reveals the underlying part color.
Hope this makes sense.
