Suppressed feature in a drawing |
|
|
Wildfire M160
I have a model file with two features, an extrusion and a hole. My
goal is to add the model to a Wildfire drawing, with the hole
suppressed (extrusion only, no hole). I do not want the hole
suppressed in part mode.
In version 2000i, for the drawing, I would have used "Drawing + Views
+ Represent + Simplify" to suppress the hole. I always thought I
should be able to use "Drawing + views + Dwg Model + Set/Add Rep" to
replace the current displayed model with a simplified representation
(defined in part mode), but I was never able to get that to work.
In Wildfire drafting, I try "Tools + Drawing Representation" and I do
not get the option of suppressing features. In Wildfire, I cannot
find the "Dwg Model" option.
Is there a way to create a view of a model with features suppressed?
Where is the "Dwg Model" menu in Wildfire?
Thanks in advance,
Scott

I think (?) what you want to do is create a Family Table instance with the
hole suppressed. When you create the drawing you'll be prompted for the
instance. If you want to change or add a referenced instance; Menu: File /
Properties / Drawing Models ..... |

........ An additional thought: Would putting the hole in as an Assembly
Feature be an applicable option?

The family table was a good call. Thank you.
