The RBG Editor lists the CIMPLICITY default entries in an RGB.dat file; when you change default entries or add entries in the RGB Editor.
You may need to edit the REG Editor to:
Change the default indexes for
Alarm State animation
Color Index animation
Add additional indices.
You will need the RGB.dat file to:
Import screens from a
CIMPLICITY System-I/U, -D/V, -H/U, or -RS/U system that do not use
the default color mappings.
If you change the file on a:
CIMPLICITY Server, you will
need to store a copy of the RGB.dat file in each project's
\data directory.
CIMPLICITY Viewer, you will
need to store it in the \data directory under the main
directory where your CIMPLICITY software is installed.

object's color has been assigned that index value, the color
displays as black.
You can open an RGB Editor through
this tab and add additional index numbers and assignments to the
list. The list can total 1024 assignments, numbers that can be used
are 0 -1023.
Import Screens from a CIMPLICITY System… and RGB.dat Files
Imported Screens from a CIMPLICITY System…
When you import screens from a CIMPLICITY System-I/U, -D/V, -H/U, or -RS/U system that do not use the default color mappings you will need to create an RGB.dat file.
If you are importing screen files from a CIMPLICITY
System-D/V, -H/U, -I/U, or
-RS/U system, the color mappings should match the RGB.dat file on
that system.
If the system you are importing from does not use the default color mappings, you will have to create an RGB.DAT file that matches the one on the source system to display its screens correctly.
You should use the same color mappings for all projects.
