Remove Appearance greyed out in assy

Remove Appearance greyed out in assy

(OP)
Extracted from http://forum.solidworks.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=5&threadid=22181

Quote:

When redefining the top level assembly appearance (In the Display Pane, click the Appearance swatch to the top-level assembly -> Appearance), an appearance has already been applied to the top-level assembly, yet Remove Appearance is greyed out. Deleting that appearance and confirming the dialog temporarily resolves the issue, but it occurs again after forced rebuild (CTRL-Q). The reason why the Remove Appearance is greyed out has not been found yet.

The workflow to remove the appearance is:
1. In the Display Pane, click the Appearance swatch to the top-level assembly -> Appearance.
2. Without deleting the 'ghost' appearance, click the green checkmark (in this way a new appearance is defined to the top level assembly).
3. Repeat Step 1.
4. Now Remove Appearance is available.

This issue has been identified and assigned to SPR 475736. Please refer to the SolidWorks Knowledge Base to find the latest status of this SPR. Please contact your reseller in order to be added to the notification list so that you are informed when the issue is resolved.

Thanks CBL, This was driving me a bit crazy. I'd give you a star, but you have too many already. In the spririt of the current administration, maybe we should look into the redistribution of these stars.

rofl No problem; I've been re-distributing them to worthy causes for years, but the ones I have are breeding faster than I can give them away.

Perhaps I should start giving them to lost causes as well.

Here ya go ... might as well start now. poke
