Hi Francis, I do hope to look into it for v4. I've been undergoing a major rewrite since v3 to make MoI 64-bit and have a Mac native build and so there has been a longer than usual gap between releases this time and it has taken priority over working on things like this, sorry.
MoI does currently write color information into STEP files, just without announcing it specifically as an AP214 type file. Many programs do find the color information in there so I guess that's why I haven't heard about this more frequently from too many people. If your program would just use the colors if they were available instead of only if it was AP214 then it would probably work.
It might take some detailed back and forth testing with you to see what it takes to get colors into Altium Designer since I don't have it over here. Please ask me about it again once v4 betas are underway.
- Michael
