Hi All,
I am running SW2012x64 SP3.0 and am having an issue with material favorites. I use both the SW material database as well as a custom material library. I have materials from both in my favorites. The problem is that when I'm working on a part and I right click on material none of my favorites from my custom library work. For example if I create a new part and then try to specify a material the drop-down list a number of my custom materials as well as default ones like "plain carbon steel" are listed. If I select a material from my custom library, nothing happens. The material is still listed as "not speficied". However if I select a material from the SW database it works fine. If I go to Edit Material and select a material from my custom library it works fine. It seems that material favorites won't work if the material is from a custom library. Anyone else have this issue? Any idea how to fix it? I have the material database file location listed properly under options.
Thanks
