    Hi,

       I saw the example of using it there. But in that page there is no description of what the number is (6 in this case).

    Hi

    the page says refer to *setdisplaycolor command

    so you can find meaning of number 6 in help of *setdisplaycolor  image/emoticons/default_happy.png' alt='^_^' srcset='/emoticons/happy@2x.png 2x' width='20' height='20'>

    Hi,

      Thanks for the help. Is there any way to get the color of each property of a model and paste it in an excel?

    If you mean through the gui, you can go to tools > property table > table > save > csv will save the component, property and colour code (number of the colour) in a csv

    Hi Rahul,

                     Thanks for the valuable piece of help. How do we get the color (not the color id) to be pasted in excel. Is there any tcl code for that?

    When you got the HM color code, just convert it into Excel color code before pasting.

    Don't ask me 'How to convert HM color code into Excel color code?' :-)
