I have been experiencing many annoying quirks when using PWX-2. Basically the program doesn't seem to save the user's input after a session is closed. For example, why can't it seem to keep track of the floor height? I set the orientation and size of the room, but the floor height randomly jumps to a default value - sometimes it takes several renderings and it almost always happens after closing and reopening the file. I have started to record the floor height in the document summary info section because this is such an annoyance. The program also doesn't seem to keep track of the file locations of custom materials and decals. When creating a custom material, even if it is saved in the default location C:\Program Files\SolidWorks\data\PhotoWorks\custom\Materials, the user is told that the material file cannot be found. Is everyone browsing to these files when opening documents? Also, if you select no when asked if you want to browse for a replacement file and check "do not prompt again for this file" you will still be prompted the next time the file is opened. You have to detach the material from the model to prevent being asked to find it. This checkbox doesn't seem to work. SWX2003 SP3.1 Win2000 SP4.0 1GB RAM nVidia Quadro FX1000
Not that you should have to but to save the headache i just created a room, 4 walls out of planes. Creates mates to the models, apply the materials and go. It aint a perfect world...
I work around the problem bij saving my favourite setting for photoworks in the assembly templates (*.asmdot). So open your standard assembly make changes and than save as (*.asmdot). Hope this solves ypour problems, regards Bram
