    I am looking for a remove color routine that works with multi bodies. I
    have been using one for ages but it only works on a file with single bodies.
    I am sure someone has an updated version.

    Thanks for your help.

    On my website, <http://www.esoxrepublic.com/devtools/>. Look in the
    project "Create SolidWorks addin from macro in VB6". In that zip file
    is a macro to color and remove color from all faces in all bodies in a
    SW model.

    At the time (SW2003), the API to remove color from a body did not
    function properly. The macro thus only works on faces, not bodies.

    Here's an even easier way.....

    1. Select a face
    2. RMB and select "Invert Selection"
    3. Ctrl select the first face again
    4. RMB and select "Appearance > Color"
    5. Select "Remove Color"
    6. Job done.

  4. Or, in 2007 SP1.0.... (from the release notes)
    Display
    In an assembly or part document, you can remove, in a single operation, all
    color and optical properties:

    a.. Applied at the component level, from all components in the assembly.

    b.. Applied at the entity level, from all entities in the part.

    With the top level in the FeatureManager design tree selected, open the
    Color and Optics PropertyManager and click Remove All Colors.
