Material&Texture

Hi!! I have a problem with this version of autocad.

I have installed it on my macbook 6,1 and it run quite well, but when I assign a material (by the material browser) to a solid, how can I modify the scale of the texture??

The autocad help says:

"Use the Texture Editor to define a texture’s appearance and how it is applied to an object.";

but where is the TEXTURE EDITOR????

Another question, can I assign a material to a layer???How???

Please, help me!!!! In vectorworks I can do it easily!!!

(I'm an Italian student, so excuse me if my English is not very good . . . .)

Hi,

 

Look in this document:

2011: What AutoCAD features are not available in AutoCAD for Mac

 

among other things, it says:

"Materials cannot be edited or created and you can not adjust the way a material maps on an object [MATERIALMAP]"

 

unfortunately...

I'm sure this doesn't help but OMG OMG OMG I cannot believe that, I know that I rarely use the built in materials for any rendering program no matter how good they appear. I need to have customizable selections to represent what I am rendering-that is the point of having high end software. 

 

Common autodesk, how hard is to add this feature , and while your at it get the walk and fly settings added too.
