Schematic Symbol Color Fill?

Question

Hello,

I am building up my OrCAD library, there will be multiple LED colors within the LED library. I am looking to make separate LED symbols for each color with the fill of the LED being the correct color. I cannot seem to find out how to accomplish this, the fill is always the default color. When attempting to manually add (or override) the color when I add a color property into part properties it says it already exists, is there no way to control the fill color of individual schematic symbols?

There is a default internal property named Color on all the parts. If you double click any placed part on the schematic, you can see that Color property in part properties, though it would not be visible in part editor window.

As a workaround you can define color (all lower case) instead of Color or you can use any other user defined name like LED_COLOR or anything else.

Hope it helps
