Hi,

We have experienced the same problem. I have not got it to work directly from the autocolours assigned in pdms/marine as stated in the manual but I have got it working using the following.

There is a file called ExportConfig.mac in a directory called CAFAddins the review install directory. Review reads this file when loading data in from the database.

You can edit this file to define your colours and rules. You'll note that the syntax is the same as for exporting colours for a RVM file. You do not need to restart Review to see your changes. Just do File->New and then reload the element into the observer window.

Regards

Steve

Hi There, autocolor rules only works in Review 12SP2 together with PMDS 12 SP5. If you have a lower PDMS version you should go via the ExportConfig.mac as harlock suggested.

Hi,

I am using Review12 SP2.1 but Marine12 SP5 rather than PDMS12 SP5.

I have not got the autocolour rules to work without having to resort to using the ExportConfig.mac and unfortunately the local support here is unable to get it to work either :(

The documentation doesn't mention having to anything special in order to enable the feature. If you know anything to the contrary please let me know.

Thanks and regards

Steve
