I've Got A Plate In My Head!

I've Got A Plate In My Head but I can't remember where I lost it. Unless I am dreaming I have used "expanded metal" and "tread' or "diamond plate" in Inventor 10 or 12. Now, I cannot find either in 13.

I've perused the other posts where you can make your own, I just want to make sure that I am not imagining the whole thing. Did Inventor used to have these materials in the material libraries? Can it be found in Inventor 13?

What happens if I open an Inventor 12 drawing that had used diamond plate or expanded metal? Will the materials be superceded by a different material?

My head hurts. It's that darned plate...

Keep in mind that Materials (properties) and Colors/Textures (cosmetic) are two different things.

They added a Material selection in the same location where the Colors/Textures used to be and moved that over to the right.

Dr. Mathers adjusted the plate in my head and I'm doing just fine now.

JD, thanks for coming to the rescue again.
