Trying to color a symbol in Orcad capture

digital1

Is there any way to color a capture part library component when creating or do i have to color it by part after Ive placed it on the capture canvas

For example when I create an LED i would like to create a red or a green LED for the color of the actual part

It gets a bit tedious having to edit the properties of LEDs to change the color

    You can actually place the images of LEDs. Its much easier that coloring each part whenever needed. In my case I place images of ICs for reference like the one shown below.
