Texture not Showing up in Edrawings

[tommy104]

Ok, I have run into the problem again.. this time the whole part is textured and the texture will not show up in edrawings. I am using Solidworks 2006 SP 3.0 and eDrawings 2006 SP 1. Has anyone got any simple tips that might explain this. Is there a setting I need to turn on?

Did you publish from SW to edrawings?

You have to publish it before you can see the texture on the part in Edrawings.

Uh, yea.. left click File>Publish eDrawings 2006 file.
Or alternatively you can File>Save As> eDrawings file.

Works fine with SW06 Sp3.0.

Here are some tips I figured out on my own just in case it may help someone else:

1) Download the very latest eDrawings verion (they do issue service packs at intervals)
2) Apply textures at the part level not in the Assembly view if you want them to show up in the eDrawings Assembly with consistency.
3) Obey the texture heirarchy faces>features>bodies>parts
when texturing parts in order to avoid confusion.

I think I will give myself a star.
