My first question to you is can other Pro/e users view you
textures/bmps/decals on their own machines. Because, if other Pro/e users
can't view them, PV is definitely out of the question. Prior the WF3, you
had to store the graphics files referenced in textures, decals, etc. in a
special folder that everyone's (or some cor****ate) config file pointed to.
I
don't remember what it was exactly but it was something like
PRO_TEXTURE_DIR
followed by the folder path name. I'm not 100% sure that PV will pick this
up since it may be unaware of config.pro, but I'm sure that it will be
impossible without the directory setting. I think the need for this option
and directory pointer goes away in WF3 which stores the graphics with the
part.
