How to map colors of items to match spool order?

I hope this makes sense as its tough to explain:

Assume you have an object already colored in the prusa slicer. Lets say:

- Red mapped to spool 1
- Blue mapped to spool 2
- Black mapped to spool 3

now you have the spools already loaded, but in a different order, e.g. black (1); red (2); blue (3). 

Is it possible to remap the colors IN THE SLICER? I understand that I can unload the spools and load them in the correct order (red, blue, black), but is that also possible in the slicer software? 

 

(and yes, I'm also aware that i change the colors in the slicer to the correct spool and repaint the object, but im looking for a method where I do not need to repaint, nor need to physically change spool order)

This is a drawback of relying on slicer-painting for colour - but straightforward if the parts are coloured in CAD.  Quite a few of the CAD-like functions offered by the slicer are there as a last minute stop-gap and only offer a workaround if the user has no access to the design files.

Cheerio,

Not in the slicer.

You do have the 'Tools mapping screen' in your LCD menu - sect 9.1.7 in your manual 'though not well explained.
