GDay All,
I have been playing with appearances and no matter what I do I cannot get any knurled pattern to appear on my parts.
The knurl pattern and settings appear perfectly fine in the appearance editor but when I apply it to a part all I see is a chrome effect, no pattern.
I have tried using many differnet .bmp's, templates, importing from 2012 pro etc... all with the same results.
Anyone know why I am not seeing the knurl?
I am running Inventor 2013 Pro on
Win 7 64bit
Intel i7 960
Asus Sabertooth x58
Asus ATI HD 6970 graphics card
1x Patriot Pyro 120g SSD
6x Hard drives - 8.5 TB total
Corsair CMP12GX3M3A1600C9 - 12 gig Ram.
To edit a custom image with a Metal Appearance should be no different on your end. You edit the image and scale at the Relief Pattern, where as you would do this on the Bump mapping of a Generic Appearance.

I just updated to SP1.1. I tried this when on RTM and it was no different.
