Question

Decal

How do I embed a decal so anyone (including myself) who opens the part with the decal will see it without them having to do anything.

There is a config.pro option so the decal saves embedded in model

save_texture_with_model

 

But, that being said, if the other user(s) who open your model don't have texture set to display, they will not see it.

    I am going to assume that there is no other way other than to change config option. This is not a preferred solution. Thanks!

    In my experience, it is best to move the image file after saving the drawing or model.  If you open the file again, and Creo finds the image file in its original location, when you save the file without save_texture_with_model set to yes it will be removed from the drawing or model.
