Strange one this.

Older assemblies with configuraions of the assembly only, updated to Solidworks Pro 2013 sp1

Older drawings updated to Solidowoks Pro 2013 sp1

The appearances and colours on the assemblies are not coming through on the drawing with shaded with edges views selected.

If you have the assembly open with the drawing and switch between the two, the appearances then show in the drawing sheet of that configuration.

If you switch to a different sheet showing another configration, the colour or appearance is missing until you open the assembly at that configuration from the drawing, then go back to the drawing.

Opening the drawing from scratch, ie restarting Solidworks and with no assemblies opened, results in no appearances or colours showing.

Worked fine in Solidworks 2012 sp3

Udating documents has no affect.

Deleting all configuration except one and deleting all sheet except one, still results in the same problem.

Switching off/on Realview just results in a dull or shiny grey.

Opening the assembly and then switching back to the drawing results in the appearances returning.

This is happening on systems with ATI 7900 Firepro, a Dell M6600 with ATI M8900 Firepro and a system with an Nvidia 4000 graphics card.

Ram ranges from 4Gb to 32 Gb.

All i7's

All Windows 7 64 Pro and ulimate.

Rx diag shows all green ticks.

Oh! and be warned the Solidworks task scheduler bug concerning missing thumbnails, because task sheduler insists on running minimised even though the box is unticked, has still not been fixed.
