texture files

[kdjolly]

Hi all-


I have some bitmaps & jpegs that I would like to use as textures on some of my part files. How do I convert them so that I can apply them in W3? Also, after they are converted, what folder should they be located in?

Many thanks in advance

U can use jpeg n bmp's as textures.


First move jpeg n BMP's to Program files/proe WF 2.0/Graphic-library/textures.(path indicatesProe WF installed location).


open the part - go to colour and appearance - select one of the colur in the appearance editor and pull down the properties menu - select map menu - check mark the color texture option - press the image square box besides of that checkmark - immdly appearance placement dialogue box opens - Press the '+' symbol that will add the texture to your palette - immdly texture folder opens inwhichyou can select moved jpeg n bmp's - use it for models.


Otherwise set the path in config - pro_texture_library to the desired folder.

As far i know at a time only one folder path can be set to config.


Is there any way to keep more folders, let me know someone will prompt for this kind of questions.

After you reply, I have found:


1.) global_appearance_file (needs a path)


2.) texture_search_path (needs a path)


3.) pro_texture_library (needs a path)


The last one is the one you told me about. I put my jpeg files in the texture folder & set the config path as you suggested. The files worked great as long as the current session was loaded. After re-starting pro/e, the color/appearance choices reverted back to a single material option and I lost all of the custom ones. I have a feeling part of the problem is that there isn't a file in my "start in" folder or a config option that would refer to one being there. I haven't had a chance to test this. Any suggestions?

As soon as I saved my appearance file to my startup folder, everything returned, along with my custom textures.

Hope this helps other folks.
