The default Feature marker colors can be set on the document properties. The color can either be set using a dropdown color picker, or the colors can be defined in the Cm4D.ini file. If these are defined in the INI file, the color values are copied into the document on creation. On existing documents, the values can be reset to values saved in the INI file.
Changes to Document Feature Marker Colors do not take effect in the 3D view until the snapshot is redrawn. Put a view into Edit Mode to resolve individual views, or use the Create/Update Snapshots option in the Document menu > Document Setup... to redraw all view snapshots.
