Live Rendering: Why do stickers always disappear?

I am really getting annoyed with Stickers. There are two things with what I get frustrated. First, when I apply a sticker and save the work, close the program and open it at some other point, stickers do not appear. I always, and I emphasize the word ALWAYS, have to go and do the tricks with sticker appearance definition to get the sticker visible again. Is it really so hard to have stickers visible once you have done the job?


Secondly: If I create a part and I apply stickers on it, why do they not follow with the part when I go to any assembly and place the part there? I was used to work with Solidworks, and once I prepared a model with realistic appearance, it looked the same in any assembly I wanted to! But with Catia I have not found any solution to prepare models in a way that they would look the same when imported in another assembly.
