Imported files from previous version become transparent

wagari.aboma68FYZ — Thu, 15 Sep 2022 13:24:30 GMT

When I import my files from a previous version of inventor (2020) to a new version (2023) their appearance is transparent wether it is a part or an assembly. How should I fix the problem?

HI!

What do you mean by IMPORT?

Can you share a part as an example?

Right-click the part/assembly/component in the Model browser and see if those are "Enabled" and NOT set to "Transparent".

Another possibility is if your models use any bitmap appearance that has a "&" in the file name (of the bmp):

Hi! Maybe the file was exported as a surface or imported as such. Please share the file here. It is hard to tell by the image.

Many thanks!
