One file, one type of item, different materials.

Hello everyone, I'm having an issue with the drawing's expose. I have a part that came from the same file but has different configurations and materials, each with a unique colour, grain, and pattern. However, I am unable to assign a specific pattern or colour to the part. Whenever I change the material of one part to another, all the pieces immediately adopt the colour of the last material pattern that I set. The name of the material is OK, just the colour is changing. Can you please help me with this problem? Thank you.

Hi, try to save as the drawing and change the file name

In solidworks from configuration manager you could set different configurations and vary different parameters while your main component will be unaffected and all the child parts would be in 1 file. While preparing for CSWP i came to know that interesting thing.

"Link display states to configuration"
PFA below, let me know if it work for you?
