Mark doNotColor Cells

You can use the Mark doNotColor Cells option to place markers on instances with cells that have the mptDontColor property. These cells are skipped by the coloring engine during recoloring. The mptDontColor property only affects the recoloring of the master. It does ot prevent color shifting at the instance level. For example, there is an instance I1 of Cell1 in the top design. If you set the mptDontColor property on I1 or Cell1, and recolor the entire hierarchy, Cell1 master is not recolored. However, color shifting of instance I1 is not prevented.
