Title: losing my color schemes when I import
Post by: WILLIAM-BOYCE on December 05, 2014, 10:27:51 AM
Im losing my color schemes when I import my model from SolidWorks.They are importing as a single part I can only apply one material. I did not have this issue with 4.3. I just upgraded tp 5.1 and can't get it to work right. I also can not import SW 2015 models at all.

Mac OS X 10.10.1

The SolidWorks Model

SolidWorks 2015 is not supported yet.

I can't reproduce the issue - all colors are nicely preserved. Can you share the file so we can take a look?

Since you can't import a SW2015 file - are you importing a STEP or IGES file instead?

Here Is the file...

I was also just mentioning the 2015 issues but I have looked around and I see I'm not the only one so I must assume you guys are working on it.
