Additional Information

The issue is that the primitive name is not applied at a level where the color can be overridden. Currently, it is set at the top vector marker level where there is no color to override. Instead, the primitive name needs to be at the embedded fill level. The example in the dictionary tool kit uses Color in the script with the primitive name defined at the embedded fill level. To set the primitive name on the embedded fill, in the Catalog View, edit the point symbol. On the layer tab, select the symbol layer for the fill symbol and in the appearance section from the ‘Shape fill symbol’ drop down, select ‘Format polygon symbol’. Go to the structure tab and set the primitive name. The dictionary toolkit is to be updated to make it clearer at what levels color overrides are supported.
