Re: Adding cosmetics -- need help

If you can export your corel file to a picture file, you can make a decal. View>model setup>color and appearances Then select Add then select Detail tab and use the Decal settings at the bottom.

I think you can use this to put it right on the part or you can make a new part with just a surface the shape of the decal. Do the same thing but putting the picture on the surface then assemble it to your part.

Hope this helps.

Rose, you can do this in part mode by applying the graphic file as a texture.

'Color and appearance>New>Detail>Texture>Map, then open your graphic file. You may have to browse for it. Also, I can't tell you all the graphic files it can use, but the Corel software should be able to export to something that Pro/e will recognize, jpeg, perhaps. (I found this in ptc tutorial on isdx, well worth taking, just for pure satisfaction.)
