My ultimate expectation was: "if I update one APPEARANCE for any reason, all Materials referred to THAT appearance will automatically update".Īs a matter of fact I realized that each time a new material is saved to the Materials.adsklib file, its corresponding Appearance gets saved ALSO to the Materials.adsklib So I prepared my Appearances.adsklib with all appearances, and once that one was ready I created my Materials.adsklib with all materials, picking appearances from the Appearances.adsklib Since I exactly the same thinking as McGyver, I assumed that Materials.adsklib and Appearance.adsklib would have replaced the old Materials.xml and Colors.xml, each one doing its job without interferences. The architecture of the adsklib file format was designed to support both material & appearance definitions.Įnvironment: Inventor2015SP2 + Win7 (圆4) Is there a specific reason that you need 2 seprate files ? I think it would be much simpler to combine all materials & appearances in to a single adsklib file. OK - I think that we found the problem here.
