Derived parts with decals

[dvsmiller9]

Not sure if 2013 does this but Inventor 2011 does not show the decals of base components on derived parts made from them.  Due to the pattern complexities of PCBs we put a decal of the metal and text on the top and bottom faces rather than extrude them.   When we derive them the decals are not honored.  We have to reapply the bitmaps to the derived part.

This also applies to ipart children.. Please support decals in iparts/derived parts...

We can already choose to keep work geometry from the source part, including sketches. We can also choose to have the source file override colors in the derived part. Why cant we keep a decal?

Would be great to see an option in the derive window.
