multi config - multi body - color and texture problem?

Question

Hi all,I have a part with 2 bodies,  one body has just a basic transparentcolor applied,  the other body has a texture applied.This part also has 2 configs.  If I set the color and texture in oneconfig and switch to another the changes don't propagate - even though'apply to all' is set in both the color picker and the texture pickerproperty tabs.If I set the color and texture in the second config directly aftersetting in the first, then when I switch back to the first the changesare gone again.Zander

Could it be a bug? What release and SP please?Zander wrote:

I assume that you know of the "Configurations" drop box in thecolor/texture property manager?  Use this to set your colors andtextures in a per configuration basis.There is also the "use configuration specific color" option which canbe found by rmb configuration -> properties -> advanced  -> useconfiguration specific checkbox.Zander wrote:

Yes, I am aware of both. This must be a bug although I havn't taken the time to test it on a different part. Also, it's true I rarely use this combination of texturing a single body and modify color/transparency of another body.

sw2006 sp4

Thanks for the ideas.

I am now running into something similar where SW will assign a texture to a part if I edit and close a configuration property. SW2006 SP4.1.

SW will also lose an assigned part color after editing configuration properties.
