Configurations and Colors / Material

Anyone know a way to configure colors and material?
I want to be able to show the different part as a separate color because the parts look very similar.
material is a bonus at this point, but I'm sure it will be the same solution as color.

Regarding the drawing issue:
When making a drawing right now the sheet reference is set at the configuration that the sheet was created at and you cannot change it without fiddling with the sheet reference. This issue is known, is already fixed and will be available be in the next release.QA Engineer - Onshape, Inc.6 -

I did not see this right away either -
Thanks
I didn't see appearance the first time i checked before posting the intitial question. I was looking for 'color' instead
In all seriousness that is very well done. I love that any company custom properties appear in the "configurable" list, that's outstanding.
Can I assume that at some time in the future we'll be able to configure one property based upon the value of another another? (Say I have a custom property of "Production Line", and then want to automatically set the appearance based on that rather than an explicit value in a table?)

The colors and part names do not update in assemblies to match what is in the part studio
Please file a ticket and we'll take a look.
I have to right click, then select sheet properties and say that that part is the reference part.
Regarding the drawing issue:
When making a drawing right now the sheet reference is set at the configuration that the sheet was created at and you cannot change it without fiddling with the sheet reference. This issue is known, is already fixed and will be available be in the next release.
When will it be released?
Also, when I go into sheet properties, the only reference I can update the reference to has the name from the old configuration.
In context:
I am looking to add color as a configuration input to avoid manually assigning specific colors to permutations of these two sets. Am I missing something here?
Thanks!
