texture scale in detail view of drawing

nbarbars — Fri, 21 Sep 2018 18:52:20 GMT

I've applied an expanded metal texture to a surface to show a mesh-type infill on my structure. In the drawing, the texture shows up when the surface bodies are included, however, in the detail view, the scale of the texture is so small you cannot see it until zoomed in. Changing the scale of the actual texture does nothing to help. Please help!!

Hello @nbarbars I see that you are visiting as a new poster to the Inventor Forum.
Welcome to the Autodesk Community!

I've been messing around with the expanded metal for a bit, what version of Inventor are you using?

If you can attach a dummy part and drawing exhibiting the behavior as you see it that would be helpful.

I think I see what you're trying to show and have forwarded to development to take a look, but want to make sure I am documenting what you are experiencing accurately.

I'm not sure where i can attach the files since they're too large for an
email. they sent me instructions to do so, but it would just take me to the
home page when i tried to access the case file.

@nbarbars the easiest way to attach files is to use Pack & Go as .zip format.

If you are having difficulty you can always record a screencast as well.
