    Does someone have a macro that removes all colors from an assembly? I
    have one that removes from a part but someone in their infinite wisdom
    here has colored in assemblies, sub assemblies and sub sub assemblies,
    so that macro wont work for me. Gahhhh! Now trying to get the paint
    scheme on this top level is a nightmare! I just need to remove all the
    colors from all the assemblies.

    I think Matt does on his website. Don't remember the URL though.

    Matt's original website has some color macros, but from the organization, it
    looks like the color removal works for parts, not assemblies:

    There is also a macro to remove face colors on this site, but I doubt that
    it is what you want:

    I have a macro, of unknown provenance, that I saved but have never used that
    might be what you want. I'll email it to you.

    Jerry,

    Ya, if you dont mind emailing that to me, all the others deal with parts
    not assemblies...

  5. I have an add-in loaded that adds or removes the colors in an assy - it was
    a give-away that I got at SWW2005 from Barry-Wehmiller. You might send an
    email to Babu Natarajin there at BWIR to see if he will send you the latest
    copy. The part of the addin that handles the colors only works one level
    deep, but it might be better than what you are currently doing.
