4.7.2.2.  Color Search (9.04)

If catalogs have used colors for the part depiction, then you can use the Color Search, either as only search method or in combination with other methods, in order to enhance the quality of the search results.[61]

When you want to use the color search, then select the Execute color search checkbox.

The Color Search has two options:

  • Choose color directly (Ctrl for multiple selection):

    Select the desired color in the color scale (multiple selection with the Ctrl key).

    With + you can add new colors to the selection via color palette.

    With - you can delete a selected color.

    With click on the Default button you get the initial state again.

  • Select image for color comparison:

    Load the desired image file via ....

    Use the slider in order to define the desired level for color matching. Parts which do not meet the condition are not regarded.

    [Note]Note

    Presently the Color Search only works with standard and supplier catalogs (not with native parts/catalogs).
