axlHighlightObject assigns permanent color in version 17.2

Hi all,

I just noticed, in 17.2, that if you use axlHighlightObject(netdbid t) on a net, not only does it highlight the net it assigns a new color to it.

The issue I am having is now you have to clear the color assignment and DE-highlighting the net.

I tested this in 16.6 and axlHighlightObject does not do a color assignment.

    Thanks, we figured it out.

    16.6 the "Retain Objects Custom color" was off by default.

    Thanks again,

    Jerry
