How to programmatically set the color of an object (e.g. Layer) in Inventor?

Issue

I need to set the color of my newly created Layer object. I use “Layer.Color.SetColor(120,120,0)”, but it does not work. How can the color of a layer be changed?

Solution

To control the color of a layer create a new color object and assign it to the layer using the color property. Use the SetColor property of  the color object to control the color.

Here is a VBA example:

In C#.Net

        public static void setNewLayerColor()         {             try {                 Inventor.Application app = (Inventor.Application)System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.GetActiveObject("Inventor.Application");                DrawingDocument oDD = app.ActiveDocument as DrawingDocument;                LayersEnumerator layers = oDD.StylesManager.Layers;                Layer oL = layers[1].Copy("MyNewLayer") as Layer;                Inventor.Color oC = app.TransientObjects.CreateColor(120, 120, 120, 0);                oC.SetColor(120, 120, 0);                oL.Color = oC;            }            catch             {            }        }
