Decals don't show up in one assembly

Andrew Kronquist Dec 4, 2013 4:10 PM

I hope this is an easy one, but I've spent the last hour not finding the answer so I'll ask here. I have a membrane switch overlay with a jpeg picture on it showing all the buttons and graphics. It looks great by itself, but it doesn't show the jpeg when in this assembly. I made another assembly with just the enclosure and switch, and everything looks fine. I am stumped.

Do you have realview enabled? Also - did you save the decals as part of the Part file? If you did, it should travel fine. If not, it's possible that the decal location has moved.

  Jeff, no, I never have RealView on, and I was able to whip up an assembly with just the switch overlay and enclosure and the decal showed up. It looks like the graphic is being stored in someone's working directory (not ideal), but SW finds it OK. I think there's probably one little checkbox *somewhere* that needs checking/unchecking in that one assembly.

    you may have an aditional appearance applied at the assembly level that is covering up the decal.

      Jeremy, I just logged in to my computer at work using MS Remote Desktop, and the assembly seems fine now. I hope it's fine on my monitor at work, too, but I won't know until tomorrow. I'm using a Dell T5500 with a ATI FirePro V4800 (FireGL) it says in control panel.
      Earlier I checked the apperances and they seem to be the same now.
