Material not appearing in assets

[Logos_Atum]

Hello, this started as a simple question, but it turned into an issue. Please read the preludium

http://forums.autodesk.com/t5/Installation-Licensing/Language-pack-coverage/td-p/3883109

When experimenting I found out that the materials are displayed in the browser but don´t appear

any more when a parameter is changed. The browser still displays them right but I need to change

them and reapply them to get Inventor to display them again. I´ve attached two screenshots to

show you the material is still assigned.

The assets have been authored with a german Inventor version and opened in a English language

pack version. Changing the target language and replacing the English library had no effect at all.

This really is a problem and if there isn´t any solution to this I will be forced to open EVERY Asset

and change ALL the materials with German names to their English counterpart. Including colour

styles I apply by ilogic.

Are there any suggestions how to avoid this? Help would be VERY welcome...

Hello there,

it´s not the materaials that disappear but the appearances.

Not appearances I did, but the Autodesk appearances alone.

Sorry for the misleading information.

Kind regards

did you get this sorted? I've got a similar problem with my physical assets

Hello Namoi,

sadly the only way to sort this is to use the internatio-

nal english versions appearances throughout the pro-

jects. As soon as you are using appearances from a lo-

calized version, the appearance will disappear on chan-

ge of any parameter in the part/ assembly.

The conversion table must be faulty or some API part,

as the right appearance name is stated in the int english

version, yet fails to display at all.

Sadly this means you have to reassign int. english appear-

ances to all the parts manually, in order to ensure they will

be displayed in the desired manner in localized versions.

Kind regards

Daniel
