Custom Colour Save

MR20250507523

In OrCAD X Presto I can save a custom layer view, but the assigned custom colours are not saved. Is there a way to save/load a color palette file in OrCAD X Presto as there is in OrCad PCB Designer?

    The whole Presto interface is very impressive but the inability to save and recall layer color assignments is completely unacceptable!

    The Presto interface is moving forward nicely, but this is a HUGE step backwards even from the Allegro interface!

    PLEASE FIX THIS!!!!

    I have not tested the Presto inteface for some time but the last time it was not possible to get the same "skeletal" view in Presto that can be defined in the Allegro for shapes, traces and pads. So for now I am sticking with the classic Allegro PCB Editor.

    Also, saving a view does NOT save the colors with it. When I open a view the layer colors don't change to what should have been saved in the view.
