If you’re working with received assembly models, or taking copies of existing assemblies in Inventor, you may need to ‘deep purge’ the assembly to clean out all of the appearance overrides it contains.
This is actually not a single click operation, as each sub-part can have its own internal colour overrides. This video looks at several potential methods to ‘reset’ all appearances, and ends with an all-purpose iLogic solution for the problem – enabling you to make an assembly a blank canvas in a single operation.

Efficiency, accuracy, and innovation are crucial for staying competitive in the industrial landscape of today. Manufacturing and engineering companies face increasing challenges in managing product development, ensuring design accuracy, and optimising workflows. That’s where Computer-Aided Design (CAD) and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) come into play.
Implementing a Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) system can be transformative for any manufacturing or engineering organization, but success doesn’t happen by chance. It takes careful planning, collaboration, and the right tools. In this article, we’ll walk you through what PLM implementation involves, why it’s critical to your organization, the benefits it delivers, and the best practices to follow. We’ll also touch on common challenges to avoid, expected timelines, and how Sovelia Core can support your implementation journey.
Manufacturing companies today need robust systems to manage their operations and product development efficiently. Two of the most important systems in this regard are Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM). While they serve different purposes, both play a crucial role in streamlining business processes, improving collaboration, and enhancing overall productivity.
