I've been working on tryingto hack that as well. I'll post it, if I get it to work.joshmingsWed, 22 Oct 2008 12:41:02 -0000http://www.solidsmack.com/solidworks-custom-scenes-without-photoworks/2008-10-21/#comment-3231628Great post, excellent Tips!A.

Regular solidworks can use "appearances" now, but you have to have PhotoWorks to edit those appearances. So I'm stuck with castings that look like they are high-gloss plated instead of matte...CharlesCulpTue, 21 Oct 2008 16:46:10 -0000http://www.solidsmack.com/solidworks-custom-scenes-without-photoworks/2008-10-21/#comment-3209020yeah, it's nothing against the License agreement for sure. They had to go and make it easy though huh? It would be nice if the scene editor was included since even basic SolidWorks uses scenes now.joshmingsTue, 21 Oct 2008 16:27:31 -0000http://www.solidsmack.com/solidworks-custom-scenes-without-photoworks/2008-10-21/#comment-3207312I have to assume not. Mark B. hinted at how to do this a year ago on the SW forums, before SW2008 actually came out. Thanks to Josh, though, for actually detailing it out!CharlesCulpTue, 21 Oct 2008 15:51:39 -0000http://www.solidsmack.com/solidworks-custom-scenes-without-photoworks/2008-10-21/#comment-3206823We know where you live, Mings, and we're coming to get you and your little dog too!SolidWorksHackPoliceTue, 21 Oct 2008 15:22:56 -0000
