1) Select a configuration of your liking (Tools → Select Configuration → someConfiguration)
2) Select Tools → Properties for current configuration
3) Under Highlight(1) hit export.
This will give you an example file
color=1,2,3,…
refers to Tools → Properties for current configuration → Display → Specify part list → Highlight(1,2,3,… )
So much for starters. It will take some time to figure out how things work.
