    You can change it from Options>Preferences>Part Not Present. Change the color from grey to different color.
    This will get reflected for DNI parts.

    Try this.

    Yes, it works.

    Can you also tell if there is any option to change "Do not Stuff" text to some custom text name like "Do Not Inlcude"?

    Here is the snapshot from where you can chance the Do Not Stuff text to Do Not Include as per your requirement.

     

    Changing this text will reflect for DNI parts.

    You can access it from Options>CIS Configuration>Administrative Preferences.

     

    Hope this helps.

    You can automate the export of variant.lst from Part Manager by setting the AutomationFlag to 1. For additional details, please refer to the second half of the following article and use the script attached there:
