Colored step files appear Black in Altium Multi-Board

I'm having a strange problem which seems to be with the version .20 step files. When I have a model in Altium the colors are exactly as I would expect. But when I view the 3D image in Altium's Multi-Board, all of the parts I colorized in version .20 are now black. I opened a step file in version .17...

Re: Exported step file duplicates objects, BUG?

Yes I did. There were only 5 objects and I expected to see only 5 in the export The problem IMO (I didn't test yet) is that the "Part container" object already has a shape that contains all subobjects. So when you select everything, you actually have 2 instances of each solid, which expla...

Exported step file duplicates objects, BUG?

I opened a step file and exported it without making any changes to the file. The file size almost doubled. When I opened that new step file I noticed there were twice as many labels and attributes. I exported this same file and as expected, the file size grew and the labels and attributes had double...

I completely uninstalled my version 0.18, did a reboot and then installed V0.19 on it. I have the same problem with no colors showing. I was able to see your cube with the 2 red s...

Unable to save custom colors to color palette

Hi, I'm using version .18 on a Windows 10 computer. Within the color palette, there are 16 custom color boxes available to assign new custom colors. Every time I add a color to one or more of the boxes, they are gone once I close the program. I have never had a problem saving my custom colors before...
