Decals

The Decals folder contains all the Decals available in your DriveWorks 3D Document. Decals can be added, edited and deleted inside a DriveWorks 3D Document. However, Decals cannot be directly imported with SOLIDWORKS models. First, import your SOLIDWORKS model into a DriveWorks 3D Document, then afterwards add the required Decals.
