Issues with color palette saving

Greetings,
I am trying to save a color palette from which I have modified multiple colors and utilized the "Blend 16 colors" function. Every time I try to save it and attach it to the drawing (as soon as I click on "drawing properties") the color palette turns back to default changing also all of the entities which have been colored with the custom colors.
I can successfully save the custom palette but as soon as I even try to click on a symbol on the symbol catalog it tuns back to the default one.
Could anyone point me out in the right direction?
Kind regards,
Sam :)

I can't seem to replicate the issue with the palette reverting when clicking on drawing properties.
The correct procedure should be just changing the palette, then immediately hitting Drawing Properties
and hitting "Attach to Drawing". You don't need to hit save in the palette dialog, that is just for saving it to a separate file.
Until it have been attached to the drawing, it will reset when loading a different symbol catalog, and you need to attach it again every time you make a change to it.
If it indeed resets just by hitting the Drawing Properties
button, you could also try the PALADD command line command, as this does the same as going into the dialog and hitting the attach button but skips the dialog. You may also wish to contact technical support, as that shouldn't be happening.
I think I am following your problem and I had an issue recently around this.
Once you create your custom patterns, they often go away. Click to reload the saved palette. That makes them show up again.
After that, because you click on any thing else, do to the drawing properties and then attach the palette to the map. That will stop the issue.
Thanks! It worked out, commands are a useful tool :)
