I am trying to apply a woodgrain appearance to some surfaces of a part, and have it show up in the assembly. Not having any luck. The image shows the first level assembly, with the part file shown below. I can apply the appearance in the part just fine, but can't get it to carry through to the assembly. Nor can I apply face appearances in the assembly itself. They just don't show up. Any thoughts, or can you tell anything from the tree in the image?
Thanks.
Wasn't that in previous releases? I thought I was able to do that before... maybe I just like to reminisce?
Sometimes there are appearances applied to the assembly which override what should be shown in the part.Seems like there was a also bug that kept part appearance from showing up in the assembly, but I believe it was corrected in service pack 3. Sometimes closing the assembly after applying the appearance and then reopening it would correct the problem.
Do you have configurations of the part?
Is the correct config' specified in the assy?
Are you using an approved graphics card and up-to-date driver?
