I was delving deeper into the paint options and had an idea that would significantly improve my workflow. I "designed" a color and paint scheme and wanted to copy it to another frame drawing. The only solution I found was to note the parameters from the window and manually enter them into the other project. Then I thought, how cool would it be to have paint presets?! Does something like this already exist?
Also I was wondering if the RAL color table shown in the video below is accessible in another way? I can't see to figure out how it was opened and that part wasn't explained

Paint presets
You can achieve a paint preset, by using the Templates option described at: bikecad.ca/templates_in_bikecadpro. I tend to really push templates in the context of Dimension templates, but you can also set up a Paint template to quickly apply a paint scheme to any bike you like.
At the 3:52 minute mark of the video you referenced, you can see how you can create your own colour scheme. In that same section, you can click on the English RAL scheme to edit it. If you want to examine this file outside of BikeCAD, you can find the file in your configuration folder under BikeCAD_22.0_configuration > Colors > Schemes. The English version is called RAL_Colors_en. It's an XML properties file, so you can open it in a text editor.
