setting a texture in Inventor 2013 programmatically

[Anonymous]

Hello,

I have got troubles with textures in the new Inventor 2013. When I try to programmatically change a texture in a render style of a part (no matter, whether I use an existing render style or create a new one), when I set the texture file name, Inventor throws an exception "Bad argument". In Inventor 2012, it worked. Does anybody know, how textures should be set in the new Inventor? Thanks for any idea.

Sample code:

PartDocument partDoc = ... some initialization

RenderStyle newRenderStyle = partDoc.RenderStyles.Add("newRenderStyle");

newRenderStyle.TextureFilename = newTexFilename;   //this throws an exception bad format, even if the texture is in the Inventor textures directory 
partDoc.ActiveRenderStyle = newRenderStyle;

Hi,

The image should be from the specific folder: C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Inventor 2013\Textures\surfaces when you apply an image to a renderstyle by code.

Hi,

thanks for your answer. On my computer, textures must be in the magic directory C:\Users\Public\Documents\Autodesk\Inventor 2013\Textures\surfaces.

But you were close enough.
