hey everyone hows it going?

just thought i would try my luck and post up my problem hoping for some resolve.. as you will see by the screenshots below i am applying colour's and texture's to objects within solidworks, but when i try to save the assembly as an e-drawing it fails to blend the texture to colour?

im using solidworks 2007, i apply the colour and texture to the individual part rather than inside the assembly (by opening the object, doing the application, saving, then rebuilding), everything works perfectly in solidworks but the e-drawing isnt giving me the result i require.. anyone know whats happening here?

this is in solidworks:

and below is the above file saved as an e-drawing.. as you can see, the texture has failed to blend with the colour on the specific object pictured

any help would be greatly appreciated! cheers!

Look into "Realview". Read the tutorial for it.

Also, keep this in mind when assigning textures.
