Does anyone run into this problem with Wildfire ProductView?

Greetings:

I have a top level assembly where each component has a specific
color. The assembly and sub-assy display with all the color in
Wildfire 2 build M230 as it should be. However, in ProductView
everything is in gray. If I open the individual component in
ProductView, it shows the correct color for each component.
I try to open another assy in ProductView and it still shows some
components in gray but not all of them. Is there a way to make
ProductView open an assy preserving all or most of the color of the
components?

Thanks in advance for your time and help.

Color the components at the assembly level where you want to see the color. I only recently discovered that you could do this. I sounds like it could make a difference to PV, as well. Colors applied at the assembly level do not translate down to the part. In fact, there are a lot of things, like parameters, annotations, relations and assembly features that are isolated from and invible to the part. So, for Pro/e, this is not at all unusual.

Many thanks for your help, I am anxious to try your tip on Monday.

I try and the trick seems not working.

Thanks for your time and help anyway.

I'm not actually going by PV but PVX and actually, I don't have to do anything special to get assembly component colors to show up correctly in PVX (but there's also no configuration you can do to PVX.) Could the configuration of PV be the problem? How complicated is it to configure? Are there a lot of options like with Pro/e? Or any that are special to Pro/e?

The PV configuration seems to be not complicated. It is Window GUI
and there aren't a lot of options like Pro/E. I don't see and don't
know if there is other configuration in PV that is similar to Pro/E
config.pro.

 

The PV configuration seems to be not complicated.

From KB: "This Problem is resolved with Product View 7.0 M040 and in 6.4.11"
