https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/autocad-forum/dwg-appearance-materials/m-p/8928105#M132931 <P>When opening a dwg that I exported from inventor the custom appearances show up in auto cad using realistic view. When I send the dwg to another person it loses the appearances and shows as default grey parts. Is there a way to attach or reference the appearances so anyone opening them in another location will be able to see the appearances ?&nbsp;</P> Wed, 24 Jul 2019 14:18:47 GMT sm3PALG 2019-07-24T14:18:47Z https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/autocad-forum/dwg-appearance-materials/m-p/8928105#M132931 <P>When opening a dwg that I exported from inventor the custom appearances show up in auto cad using realistic view.
