Enhancements for Materials

New Texture field in Application Options/Files tab

You can now specify a default Texture location in the Application Options dialog box, Files Tab.

Cutout texture improvements

Cutout texture now displays under shaded visual style. The behavior of cutout texture is improved to display the same in both shaded visual style and realistic visual style.

New migration setting for color styles

A migration setting, Migrate color styles to generic, is added to the Material Styles Migration dialog box. When selected, it creates a generic appearance for each color style in the appearance of the Inventor 2012 shaded view color style.

Enhancements for Task Scheduler

Update materials and appearances

In Task Scheduler, in both the Migration task and the Update Design task, you can update materials and appearances in batches, instead of opening the files manually. The option Update Local Materials And Appearances is added to both the Migration Options dialog box and the Update Design Options dialog box. When you select the option, all local materials and appearances are updated automatically to the styles in the library in the active project.

Batch convert all drawing views to precise views

You can convert a batch of raster drawings to precise drawings using Task Scheduler. In the Update Design Options dialog boxes for both the Update Design task and the Migrate Files task, the option Make all Raster drawing views Precise is added.

Note: When specifying a folder, the File Name column provides control to filter to the type of files you want to perform the selected task on. It is recommended to select .idw/.dwg when converting raster to precise.

Please note that Skip migrated file and Skip unresolved references will filter these conditions out of the task.
