Dear All,

 creo material appearance

I observe strange behaviour of creo in assigning colour that match material's appearance setup - part turn white after assigning material.

/my version 5.0.1.0, but it also was in previously installed 4.0/

 

Behaviour:

  • Assign material to a part
    • There is no colour - part turns white from default colour
  • I modify the appearance /default appearance/
    • Save this material - by save to library
  • Assign modified material to a part colour was taken from the material appearance correctly
  • When I turn off the creo and reopen it
  • Assign same material modified before
  • There is no colour
    • Part turns white In material properties of this material
    • Nearly all colours in material appearances window, turned white

In my config.pro appearance catalog, color.dmt file - is set to default Creo 5.0.1.0\Common Files\graphic-library\appearances

 

How to fix it? Is there any options that controls this behaviour?

 

Thanks in advance for your help.

 

Regards!

Hi,

 

I guess that color definition must be present in global.dmt file.

Same thing is happening to me. I can see that the global.dmt is not getting updated when I define the material appearance. Set the global_appearance_file option and made sure I have write access the the file too

 

Is this a bug?

Hi,

in the past (in Creo 2.0) I modified global.dmt file manually ... see below described procedure:

  • I defined new model color
  • I opened Appearance Manager window ... new color was located in My Appearances section
  • in the same section I clicked File > Save As and entered _MH_appearance name ... all appearances were saved into _MH_appearance.dmt file in current working directory
  • I opened _MH_appearance.dmt file in Notepad++ selected color definition (see below shown example) and pasted it into globat.dmt
  • I deleted _MH_appearance.dmt file
