Hi everyone,

I'm working with SolidWorks 2016 and a custom Toolbox folder

I have created a few custom toolbox components that use configurations, and have no material assigned.  When I create them I set their appearances to a custom appearance, and I apply the same appearance to all configurations of the toolbox component.  The problem I'm running into is that SolidWorks applies 'satin finish stainless steel' appearance to my components after I add them to the toolbox.  I have even gone into the toolbox and edited the component to change the appearance back to what I had set it to. This works until I go to add it to the assembly again or until I edit an existing version of it in my assembly.  At that point it changes back to satin finish stainless steel.

Is there some global toolbox color setting that I can change to prevent this override?  Am I missing some step in the process to maintain my colors?  Is this a bug?

Thanks in advance for the help,

Quentin
