Decals Losing Association to Parts

We are having a problem with decal images losing their association to their respective parts.


We are using the View-Color and Appearance dialog box, creating a new color, and adding a decal image to the part (the part is literally a decal or "sticker"). When the part (or drawing of the part) is closed and re-opened later, the decal image will be wrong (it may be the last decal image someone used).


I was able to keep the associations working by saving the appearance.dmt file in my ProWork directory, and then my computer was replaced and I temporarily lost the associations again for a while.


Is there a way to keep all decals ("appearances"?) associated to their respective parts within a PDMLink system, rather than on one's C:// drive?
 
verge,


I have had this problem and if I remember correctlyunder options save_texture_with_model yes
