Help Needed: Images in Creo keep disappearing

[mikehoopes]

As per the original post. 

So, decals/textures are not truly portable in Creo, unlike other MCAD suites? How has the Creo community put up with this for so many years?

In my opinion, a user library does not belong in Program Files. That is not a best practice anywhere in the Windows computing world.

In other words, if I hand a part or assembly off to another party, with the graphic files included, they have to move those files to a common directory on their PC (such as C:\Program Files\PTC\Creo 9.0.0.0\Common Files\graphic-library\textures\misc), where they will likely live forever, even if one-time use?

They to have pre-emptively know that there are textures, otherwise they would need to be manually re-attached.

Maybe you don't have the option 

save_texture_with_model

set to yes?  (it is no by default)

Hello - thanks, that worked for me! I thought I had searched thoroughly for that option, but apparently I didn't:
