Materials from 2004 into 2006

STU_P · January 31st, 2006

I've recently done a 3d office in 2004, when my boss opens up the drawing in his 2006 my custom made materials come through fine but some of the standard materials don't, they just colour the object the same as the layer colour. Is there a difference between the standard material libraries from 2004 to 2006? or could there be a problem with my bosses version of 2006?

Hi
There are difference between the libraries. The ADT4 library is 146Mb and contains 572 files where as the ADT6 library is 159Mb and 621 files.

The best solution is to mount a texture library on a central CAD resource disk drive on your office network and re-path the textures location in your AutoCAD profiles to this drive for both (or all) computers.

Cheers

Kerry
